I am the founder and director of the Smokinya Foundation. Smokinya Foundation contributes in creating a world that works for everyone out of love, care and cooperation.

Our approach is heuristic – a method for empowering a person to discover, or learn something for themselves. Smokinya provides an alternative context of learning – experiential, ‘hands-on’ or learning by doing. We strive to spread heutagogy as a way to life-long learning and maturity.

Smokinya Foundation realizes its vision and values through providing educational mobility to a wide range of people – youth and adult. We train, coach, mentor, educate, and support youth in developing competences and make choices for their life, education, and career.

Smokinya Foundation follows the UN youth agenda 2030, the 11 Youth goals, and EU strategy in the field of youth to Engage, Connect, Empower.

Since 2023 we focus our work on rural development by bringing youth from different countries to a settlement of 60 people – the village of Mrachenik. There, we are developing local partnerships and focusing on the opening of an international educational and volunteering centre in the former village school. We bring refreshment, aliveness and reconnection for both locals, and internationals in the village. Organising practical activities with hands-on skills development, supporting local elderly, making environmental actions, promoting multiculturalism, education, mobility.

We host short-term educational mobilities (courses, exchanges, visits), and long-term mobilities (volunteering, camps, internships).

Locally we regularly organise events which gather 40-60 young people who participated in different projects, and those who never participated in Erasmus+. We Reach, Engage, Connect, Empower thru facilitation of peer to peer networking and sharing.

At Smokinya we also use digital tools and develop competence: WordPress, Slack, Slite, Google Suite, Canva etc. We are transparent online:
