March 8 is an important date for the Foundation team for two reasons:
Firstly, March 8th is International Women's Rights Day, and to honor the founding team of F8M Foundation, we decided to retain this special date in the Foundation's name. We want to encourage women of all ages and professions to engage in civil society activities.
The second inspiration for the name is the place where the F8M Foundation was founded. In Rokietnica (Podkarpackie Voivodeship), March 8, 1943, is a date deeply embedded in local history and the legend of patriotism and heroism of the area's inhabitants. By retaining the date in the name, we wanted to commemorate the place and people who helped us begin our activities.
F8M Perspective
At the F8M Foundation, we strive to create an environment in which each of us can actively engage in the protection of historical monuments while simultaneously supporting climate protection efforts. Through innovative approaches and education, we inspire communities to take action to preserve cultural and natural heritage, fostering harmony between the past and the future.
Our Work
Educational activities
We conduct educational activities promoting green competences, skills of the future and the ideals of the New European Bauhaus.
Research activities
We conduct research and innovation in the fields of cultural heritage protection, climate action and sustainable architecture, inspired by the New European Bauhaus.
Our achievements
The Foundation was registered on July 1, 2022.
The foundation's founding inspiration comes from our founder's concept of revitalizing forgotten monuments in small towns. Its holistic and sustainable solutions led to its finalist position in the New European Bauhaus Awards. (NEB link)
Thanks to this, from the very beginning, we have worked with the goal of creating long-term and sustainable solutions for the historic building stock. We develop collaborative networks and work on research projects.
and we strive to be active in communities that need it most, restoring a sense of belonging.
