The mission of supporting and promoting the campaign was also undertaken by Olivia Business Centre, which quickly led to the spread of the initiative among companies residing in Olivia Business Centre and befriended institutions. In addition, a public fundraiser has been created on one of the portals under the slogan #LaptopyDlaUczniów
, during which money is collected for the purchase of laptops. The computers will first go to Primary School No. 35 in Oliwa, and then to other institutions in Gdańsk.
Olivia Business Centre also supports the educational project “Closer to each other – closer to the world”. Classes in the form of e-learning will be addressed to students of Primary School No. 35.
