Mariusz Zyngier was one of the speakers at the 2nd European Education Forum - New Technologies & Innovations in Education - It is a difficult task to talk about inspiration for teachers who have been brought together here,   as they are all very active - says Mariusz Zyngier.

Passion and inspiration were the main themes of his speech.  - I want to show what we have managed to achieve in Połaniec.  There common misconception is that if a school is outside a big city, it looses on possibilities.  I have been working in a small town from the very beginning of my  teaching career; we have always been a vibrant teaching community - says the teacher.

Mariusz Zyngier teaches vocational curriculum at the  "Jędrusie" AK Unit School in Połaniec. Last year he was the only Pole among the 50 nominees for in the finals of the Global Teacher Prize also known as the Teachers Noble Prize.  He has been also honoured in the "Teacher of the Year" plebiscite organized by "Głos Nauczycielski [Teachers'  Voice]", the title of the Leonardo da Vinci Programme Ambassador, and Honorary Professor of Education.

His students are successful at international competitions;  the World Exhibition of Inventions, Research and New Technology "Brussels Innova" in Brussels was one of such.
