The Inthinknity Foundation was established in May 2021. Its main area of activity is the organisation of workshops in the area of non-formal education for senior citizens, which takes place within the framework of the senior citizens' club - Kreatywny Senior, established at the foundation. Among other things, the following forms of support are organised for adult learners: art therapy classes, Senior Mind Strengthening workshops, sports activities and computer workshops. The project's concept is in line with the foundation's main area of activity - its main objective was to educate senior citizens in pro-environmental attitudes and sustainable development using art. The project enabled, on the one hand, 20 of the foundation's adult learners to acquire competences and increase their motivation; on the other hand, it provided an opportunity for 8 staff members involved in observing the work to gain new experience, which resulted in the implementation of new programmes into the foundation's permanent activities (combining art therapy with cultural education).
