Celebrating official recognition of Spark Resilience in Poland

Our partner organisation in Poland, the Centre for Positive Education (COPE), has achieved a significant milestone: SPARK Resilience has been officially added to the list of recommended programmes on the Programy Rekomendowane website (programyrekomendowane.pl). This database is an official list of social and emotional learning programmes that have been evaluated and recommended for implementation in educational institutions in Poland. SPARK Resilience joins Zippy’s Friends which has been a part of the recommended list since 2013.

This recognition highlights the remarkable work done by COPE since the pilot of SPARK Resilience in 2022, with almost 1,000 teachers taking part in the SPARK Resilience training in the 2024/2025 school year.

This achievement reflects not only the quality of these programmes but also their growing popularity in educational settings across Poland. We are proud to collaborate with COPE and support their ongoing efforts to empower teachers to support the social and emotional development of their students.
