about us

Współpraca

Chcielibyśmy, by czytelnictwo w Polsce osiągnęło poziom jaki osiąga w wielu krajach europejskich: około 70%.
Dziś jedynie 40% naszej populacji czyta.

Przeprowadzenie tej zmiany to jedno z najważniejszych i zarazem najtrudniejszych wyzwań współczesnej Polski.
Wymaga wspólnej wytężonej pracy bardzo wielu sił i potężnych inwestycji – a przyszły rozwój naszego kraju będzie od tego zależał. Zwiększenie populacji czytających jest dziś polską racją stanu

Dzielimy się wiedzą ekspercką

Współpraca z Fundacją

Since its inception, the Universal Reading Foundation has been cooperating with institutions and people who want to contribute to achieving this goal. The environment in which we conduct discussions and exchange ideas on the subject of reading includes a wide range of foundations, representatives of business associations, many publishing houses, central and local government institutions.

Cele Fundacji

Dążymy do wprowadzenia czytelnictwa na listę priorytetów decydentów wysokiego szczebla. Poprosiliśmy o rozmowę i wsparcie dla tematu Małżonkę Prezydenta RP, udzieliliśmy konsultacji w zakresie budowania czytelnictwa do strategii dla edukacji przygotowanej przez Strategie Polska 2050, opracowaliśmy materiały merytoryczne dla samorządowców Unii Metropolii Polskich.

Dzielimy się wiedzą ekspercką, pomagamy wypracowywać strategie, udostępniamy materiały instruktażowe, zapraszamy do współpracy!
