PATRYCJA KRZESIŃSKA

Faced with the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt a growing frustration and desire for action.

I could not remain indifferent as I watched the world around me face a crisis. This was the moment when I decided that I wanted to have a real impact on the reality around me. I was inspired by the women's strikes, which showed me the power of solidarity and collective action.

When the protests heated up in Poland, I understood that it was not just an issue of abortion rights, but a deeper need for people to be heard and influence the reality around them. I saw how solidarity turns into hopelessness after strikes, and people who experienced social action for the first time are faced with the question: "What next?".

This observation was crucial for me - I realized that I wanted to help others find a way to continue doing this. A passion for affecting change and helping people was born in me. I chose my course of action based on the belief that each of us has the potential to create a better tomorrow.

I joined the Independent Student Union and the Impulse Foundation to put their ideas into practice - from creating spaces for students to develop and engage in social activities, to initiatives that unite generations around common goals. My involvement in these organizations was a conscious choice to create opportunities for others to continue social action. The "bridges_generation" project at the Impulse Foundation or supporting students at the NZS are examples of how different communities can be brought together around important issues. These activities were not accidental - each was a step on the way to building a community ready to act and affect change.

An important point in my activist path was the occupation strike in the "Jowita" dormitory. It was there that I was able to use all of my experience and activist power to support the students in their struggle. This was the moment when I realized that my actions, development and experience gained allowed me to be part of something important that has a real impact on the reality around us.

I act because I believe that together, growing and mobilizing, we have the power to change the course of a story. My story is proof that conscious choices, a passion for helping and a desire to affect change can produce real results and inspire others to take action.
