Bogumiła has been the Head of our Community Centre and our tutor since 2013.

Bogumiła has graduated from German Studies, History and Slavonic Studies at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany. She is a holder of DAAD scholarship and an academic teacher at the Faculty of German of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. She gained her experience in working with children during Deutsch Wagen Tour project which was implemented by Goethe-Institut in Warsaw. She has organised practical trainings on the use of Kamishibai street theatre method in foreign language teaching at primary and junior high schools for teachers of German.

Wojciech joined the Ark in 2014. He has started as a football coach, and then, since last year, he has commenced working with children full-time. Next to sports, he also teaches creative classes (he loves origami), and is a board games’ champion. Besides he can also play the piano and the guitar, thus giving some musical inspirations to children. Wojciech likes competition and rivalry, as long as it is fair. He believes that the winner is the one who has been fighting to the end, and he tries to promote this principle at the Ark. Privately, he is just about to graduate from his 2nd degree studies at Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw and is a happy husband-to-be.
