One of the flagship social involvement programs run by FFiL Śnieżka SA is Koloratorium - an original, nationwide social project for primary schools in towns with a population of up to 20,000 inhabitants. The aim of the initiative is to popularise chemistry among students of grades 4-8 - a field in which Śnieżka specializes as a paint manufacturer. Owing to this, it is possible to equalize educational opportunities and provide young people from smaller towns with the best possible conditions for learning biological and chemical issues.
In four editions of the project, 34 school laboratories were equipped with specialized equipment and renovated. Activities under the program are conducted in the form of an educational competition, which, thanks to competition, engages schools and students in acquiring knowledge. The pilot edition of the Koloratorium was held in the 2017/2018 school year in the Sub-Carpathian province.
In 2023, all 34 school-winners of the previous editions were invited to participate in the survey and share their observations about the competition and the impact of winning on the future career of students in the fields of chemistry and biology. As many as 29 institutions responded – 26 of them gave the highest rating to the lesson plans prepared by the Group, and all respondents stated that participation in the project supported the development of their students in the field of biological and chemical subjects.
increasing the prestige and importance of the facility in the local environment

As part of the implementation of the Śnieżka 2023+ Sustainable Development Strategy, the opinions provided will be considered when designing the new, 5th anniversary edition of the Koloratorium, which is scheduled for the 2024/2025 school year.
