We want to tell you a story. It’s a story about solidarity and how people come together to support communities in need. And how you can contribute too.
This story is about a high school in Warsaw, Poland, called Bednarska. Established in 1989, it quickly stood out from other schools rooted in Soviet principles, becoming famous for promoting freedom of expression, tolerance, and individually tailored curriculums.
Faced with the influx of Ukrainian refugees in March 2022, the school decided to act. Building upon its existing programme, a dedicated class for 20 Ukrainian students run by hired refugee Ukrainian teachers was swiftly opened. The class became oversubscribed within days, with over 100 children on the waiting list, this number increasing every day.
As a global company, the news from Ukraine has deeply affected us. The story of this school is one of hope and is even closer to our hearts as two of our colleagues have been actively involved in supporting them. Our colleague Anna Kobylinska, Data Science Director, is one of their alumni, while Anna Sementsova, Data Scientist, has close ties with Ukraine.
