"When I was 17, my life consisted of a dormitory, a computer, and minimal social interaction. I hated people, was constantly angry at myself, couldn't see my future, and didn't understand why I should continue my studies." Today Heorhii is 19. He organized and led his own cultural and educational project, within which a first poetry collection has already been published and five public events have taken place. Through conversations with a mentor and experience in project work, Heorhii understood who he wanted to become and enrolled at university to study psychology. Today he's surrounded by many friends, keeps learning, has shaped his own worldview, and has become a sought-after tutor and mentor for younger participants. And also — a creator and artist who helps others find and discover themselves.

"At 16, I lived in constant conflict with myself, my parents, and my peers. I got angry, cried, felt offended, and for a long time couldn't get out of a depressive state. Even after enrolling at university, I couldn't find my place: I couldn't sleep, eat, or concentrate, and I didn't know how to go on living." Today Elisha is 20. She went through a difficult period, learned to notice and overcome negative states, work through her own mistakes, and find inner support. Elisha repaired her relationship with herself and her parents, developed a clear plan for professional development, and learned to take responsibility for her own life. Today she is developing simultaneously in several creative and professional roles: as an artist, teacher, tutor, poet, and actress. She hasn't just changed herself — she has also helped others go through a similar path. Elisha has become a calm, loving, joyful, and purposeful person who knows what she wants and where she's headed.

"When I was 14, I was like everyone else: insecure, understanding neither myself nor my own desires. It was easier for me to go along with someone else's opinion than to form my own. Conflicts were the scariest thing for me." Today Maria is 21. She is finishing her degree in international relations at Jagiellonian University, manages two projects at a civic organization, is responsible for running the debate club, and serves as a leader for younger participants. Maria has learned to form, argue for, and defend her own opinion, take on responsibility, and lead others. She has a clear understanding of what she wants, knows her own strengths, and is developing her creative potential as an artist and poet. Today Maria is a confident, disciplined, and responsible young woman who determines the direction of her own life.

"When I was 14, I didn't love myself and even mistreated myself. I didn't believe in my own abilities, felt lonely, and was very dependent on others' opinions." Today Vitalina is 24. She works as a fundraiser at a civic organization and is finishing her studies at a second institution of higher education. Through emotional intelligence classes and prolonged work with tutors, Vitalina learned to understand and manage her own emotions, support herself, and treat herself with love and respect. She has clear goals and a dream she works toward every day. Vitalina has become an indispensable professional and colleague — disciplined, responsible, and attentive to others. Today she is not only successfully building her professional path, but also consciously creating a life in which she wants to be happy.

She has learned to trust herself, take initiative, and not be afraid of being visible. Today Daria is independently building her own life, has many professional and creative plans, and is in a happy, harmonious relationship.

"I came to 'Polit' at age 13. I was afraid of any criticism, depended on others' opinions, closed myself off, lived with constant anxiety, and didn't take responsibility for my life. I broke my own promises and abandoned my daily routine." Today Maria is 17. She lives independently in another country, takes care of her own daily life, routine, nutrition, and sleep. Maria is learning to build honest and healthy relationships, work as part of a team, take responsibility for her decisions, and consistently develop her character.
