Accession to and active membership of the "OSTATNIA WARTA" Foundation in the European AGE Platform Europe network in 2026.
As an organization committed to the highest standards of care for the elderly and terminally ill, we strive to integrate into European structures. AGE Platform Europe is the largest European umbrella network based in Brussels, bringing together over 100 organizations and acting as a direct partner to the institutions of the European Union.
Our project includes formal accession to the organization and the active participation of 2 Board representatives in its key events in 2026: the annual General Assembly and the work of specialized Task Forces. The transfer of EU know-how will allow us to even more effectively develop care volunteering services (the so-called Sitting Service) in Poland and represent Polish care communities in the European arena.

Representation of the "OSTATNIA WARTA" Foundation at nationwide long-term and senior care events in 2026.
In 2026, our Foundation is implementing a project aimed at exchanging knowledge and building relationships with key entities in the medical and care sector. As part of the task, Board representatives will participate in three important industry events: the VIVA SENIORZY! Fair in Poznań, the 3rd National Congress of Long-Term Care, and the 22nd Health Market Forum in Warsaw.
Presence at these congresses allows us to track technological innovations that facilitate the functioning of sick people, and the knowledge gained (e.g., regarding communication with a patient with impaired consciousness and integrated care) is directly implemented into our proprietary educational program – the Gdańsk School of Accompanying. It is also an excellent space to promote the Sitting Service and the End-of-life Doula within the national care community.

Our mission appreciated! The "Gdańsk School of Accompanying" receives the patronage of the International Year of Volunteers 2026
Gdańsk School of Accompanying – an official event celebrating the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY 2026)
We are honored to announce that our proprietary training series has received the patronage of the Director of the National Institute of Freedom – Centre for the Development of Civil Society (NIW-CRSO) as part of the IVY 2026 celebrations. Through this initiative, during 40 hours of classes with educators and psychologists, we thoroughly prepare a group of volunteers to accompany people at the end of life (the so-called "end-of-life doula"). This distinction confirms that the project directly aligns with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting solidarity and professional social support.
