Eko-Okna supports young talents

For the past two years, Eko-Okna has been happily supporting the activities of Ognisko Pracy Pozaszkolnej in Wodzisław Śląski. How? The company provides the institution with post-production wood waste, which is then used by young artists. This allows children to develop their creativity, and Eko-Okna proudly observes how its support brings joy and inspires the creation of extraordinary projects.

Collaborating with OPP is not only about supporting talented youth but also expressing Eko-Okna's care for the environment. By donating unused wooden window profile parts, the company gives new life to the materials and prevents generating additional waste. Eko-Okna strengthens its mission of sustainable development by promoting an eco-friendly approach to resource management, where every piece of wood becomes part of the creative process.

On October 7, 2024, a special ceremony took place, during which Ognisko Pracy Pozaszkolnej No. 1 officially changed its name to the Centre for Science, Technology, and Arts Education. The event gathered many guests, including representatives of local schools, the Copernicus Science Centre, and sponsors like Eko-Okna. As one of OPP’s partners, the company proudly participated in this symbolic moment, highlighting the importance of educational initiatives in the region.

In addition to the name change, the event celebrated the opening of a new music studio, funded by the "Przewroty" award. This new facility will expand the educational offerings with new opportunities for artistic development. Guests toured the new music studio, along with already active workshops: arts, ceramics and crafts, chemistry and physics, mechatronics, carpentry, sewing, and a cinema hall.

For Eko-Okna, one of the key moments of the ceremony was the presentation of the carpentry workshop, where children have the opportunity to hone their skills in woodworking using the company's materials.

"The collaboration with OPP is not only a form of educational support for us, but also an excellent example of sustainable resource management. By providing post-production waste, we give children the chance to acquire practical skills in working with natural materials. We’re happy that our contribution not only develops their creativity but also strengthens our role as an environmentally conscious company. The children’s innovative projects surprise us every time, motivating us to continue this initiative. It’s proof that responsible business actions can harmoniously combine sustainable development with the education of future generations,” says Agnieszka Mojżysz, Project Manager in the Marketing Department at Eko-Okna.

Thanks to the involvement of companies like Eko-Okna S.A., children in Wodzisław Śląski have the chance to work creatively with wood and other materials, fostering the development of their imagination and practical skills. Supporting this initiative fits perfectly with the values promoted by Eko-Okna, including an eco-friendly approach to resource management and a focus on the development of future generations.
