Exempt from Theory, Poland’s first social Olympiad for high school students, is an impressive example of how young people can transform society with their creativity, commitment and enthusiasm. The project supports volunteering opportunities for young people to promote civic engagement and to help improve project management skills. An intuitive online portal guides young volunteers through the project cycle.
For every realized project, young participants gain points and receive a recognized management certificate. The project is not only remarkable because it combines altruism with entrepreneurship, but also in reaching out to young people. Since the first edition in 2014, Exempt from Theory has involved more than 7000 young people in Poland, the first Olympiad to go out of the classroom.
