Mission and Objectives

“MultiOcalenie” Foundation is a non-governmental organization, established in July 2013. Although our organization is new on the market, our team has a long experience in working for the benefit of foreigners and refugees. We are the longest-operating multireligious and multicultural NGO in Poland. The Board of the Foundation consists of a Georgian and a refugee from Chechnya, which highlights the multicultural nature of our Foundation. At the heart of the Foundation is Dorota Parzymies, who has the largest experience on the market in working with foreigners. She is the author of the innovative concept of a refugee mentor: a person establishing a link between the host community and the refugees. As the first person in Poland, she engaged refugees in the implementation of EU projects; she organizes workshops on cultural and religious differences, as well as information about countries of origin of foreigners for civil servants, police officers and the border guard.
