Turning indifference into agency
Fundacja STOP Znieczulicy was founded as a grassroots response to the growing problem of social passivity in the face of violence, aggression and harm, both in public spaces and online. Our mission is to build a society in which responding to violence becomes a natural social norm rather than an act of extraordinary courage. The Foundation was established because more and more schools, institutions and communities were asking us for support and educational initiatives.
We believe that bystanders rarely fail to act because they lack empathy. Far more often, the reason is a lack of knowledge, practical skills and a paralysing fear of the consequences. That is why we bridge the gap between knowledge and action by giving people concrete, safe tools for intervention.
What makes us different?
Evidence, not assumptions
No heroics, with a system
Systemic approach
Our key activities

Partnerships for real change
At the STOP Znieczulicy Foundation, we believe that changing social attitudes requires genuine synergy. Our partnerships are not a collection of logos, but real relationships and joint projects. We bring tools and expertise. You bring knowledge of your own community. Together, we can act more effectively.
More and more people and organisations are saying the same thing: we need to talk more openly about taking action.
Universities, experts and organisations are joining us because they believe that taking action can become the norm.
Meet us
We are a team united by a shared purpose. We combine experience from science, education, business, communication, sport and social initiatives, turning it into practical solutions and tools for change.
We work where knowledge meets practice. Each person on the team brings different expertise, but we all move in the same direction: reducing indifference and strengthening people’s sense of agency and civic responsibility.
The Foundation grew from the ground up, out of a need to act. That is why the people who have helped build this initiative from the very beginning are especially important to us.
We thank everyone who helped us get started and develop the project, for their time, knowledge, support and trust. Their commitment makes it possible for us to build something that can have a real impact.

Experts
Thank you to everyonewho contributed to creating this project — those who were with us from the very first conversations and those who joined at later stages.
Thank you Iwona for helping create the first structures, Joanna for the branding of the first edition, and Wojtek and Przemek for their work on the campaign website.
We would also like to thank the copywriting and graphic design teams — Dorota, Judyta, Kasia, Paulina, Ewa and Piotr — for helping give our ideas a professional form.
We also thank Patrycja, Patrycja, Tomek, Radek, Kuba, Wiktoria, Adam and Mikołaj for their contribution, time and commitment.
We believe meaningful initiatives attract people who refuse to remain indifferent. STOP Znieczulicy is an example of this: it shows that passion, knowledge and commitment can turn a vision into a new culture of taking action.
