About Foundation
Our foundation is grounded in the belief that art holds transformative power. Through its universal language, art has the ability to engage our rational side, instilling in us respect and noble attitudes toward diversity. Art allows us to become more sensitive to the needs of others and better equipped for meaningful dialogue.

Dorota Hryniewiecka-Firlej
Chairman of the Social Council

Dorota Hryniewiecka-Firlej
Physician, Doctor of Medical Sciences in the field of internal diseases, and a manager with experience gained in leading pharmaceutical companies.
She combines a leader’s vision with a people-oriented perspective, and she always builds communities based on a shared set of values rather than interests. Her mission is to co-create an environment where every individual feels accepted and valued. Respect for differing political views, gender, and a sense of security are enduring values she abides by.
She was shaped by her family, the multicultural city of Przemyśl – located on the border with Ukraine, and her personal experiences with exclusion have become her motivation for action. She is an admirer of culture in all its forms. In her free time, she dedicates herself to her passions, playing the piano and illuminating medieval manuscripts. She is a member of the Italian Association of Calligraphy and Illumination.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, she initiated help for refugees, supporting non-governmental organizations working for the victims, providing food, material aid, and psychological-pedagogical support.

Power of Art and Dialogue
At our organization, we are dedicated to promoting social justice, peace, and understanding across all cultures and communities. Through our initiatives, we strive to mobilize the public to support those in need and build understanding of the situations faced by people affected by conflict. We believe that promoting peace, tolerance, and respect for human rights is critical to achieving a just and equitable world. By fostering meaningful dialogue, we aim to reach every generation and sensitize both children and adults to the values that matter most, including freedom, independence, and respect for human rights.
Art is a powerful tool that we utilize to open people’s hearts and minds to important issues, encouraging dialogue, deeper understanding, and rational decision-making.
