How A-Polish Norms got started:
A-Polish Gender Norms 2024
The response from our online community to our 2024 campaign was overwhelmingly beautiful.
It once again touched our hearts greatly to see so many students and teachers take part and build an inclusive environment. School clubs and corporations took the initiative as their own and expanded beyond our belief. Some schools even sent us videos of how their day went!
This day always sparks important conversations and highlights the power of representation. It reminds us that by coming together, we can take meaningful steps to break down stereotypes, combat bullying, and challenge hate.
A-Polish Gender Norms 2023
