The Świdnica Half Marathon is a sports event to which we are committed not just because of the sponsorship agreement, but because it lies close to our hearts. Our passion for the promotion of sport and a healthy lifestyle is evidenced first and foremost by our employees, who take part in the competition year after year.

The Fiat featured in the Drive with IT series accomplished another mission – from a mascot of the #TwojaDroga (en. Your Way) campaign it was transformed into a charity Fiat. Maciek, Robak and Olek took part in the Złombol Rally, collecting money to support children living in orphanages. They drove through 5 countries, covered 4,500 km and got as far as the Black Sea, reaching Golden Sands in Bulgaria.

Ważka Art Cafe (our Inclusive Coffee Shop) is a place we have supported with our hearts, funds and construction materials during the “Let’s do something good this Christmas” charity donation. Lying in the very heart of Świdnica, it’s a place where people with intellectual disabilities can make a valuable contribution with their work.

DevSchool RST was one of our first educational initiatives. Back in 2015 we had a series of meetings during which a team of four staff, supported by RST programmers and architects, for over three months mentored young people at the beginning of their explorations into programming.

Bobolice 2015 – One of our first team-bonding during which the entire company was involved in helping to rebuild, amongst other things, the parking lot, fence, entrance to the reserve and hay racks for forest animals at the Zborów Mountain Reserve on the Trail of the Eagles’ Nests – a trail along a chain of 25 medieval castles between Częstochowa and Kraków.

Since 2014, we have been participating in various organized events including Company Relays, Half Marathons, IT Runs, Independence Runs and other events taking place both in Lower Silesia and other places in Poland.

In 2017 we helped the orphanages in Jelenia Góra not only by repainting and renovating their buildings, but also by giving our time and attention to the youngest children there. This amazing experience has been an eye-opening moment for many of our staff.

ŚwIT (a combination of the Polish word ‘świt’, meaning “the dawn” and IT) was a youth event during which we hosted over 200 young people. Its main goal was to show the schoolchildren that their future is in their hands. For years, we have wanted to contribute to the development of education in our region.

At RST, we regularly donate blood to the Regional Blood Donation and Hemotherapy Centre. During our campaigns we invite our employees, their families and friends as well as those from other companies that we co-operate with to join in with us because we can do more together.

RST Meethub is a place where we can spend time on conversation, sharing knowledge, but above all, where we try to talk about a balanced diet and healthy eating because, as the saying goes, a sound mind in a sound body. Whenever there is an opportunity, we organize workshops and meetings to promote what is natural, good and healthy.

One of the social activities in which we had the opportunity to be involved was supporting the Wasik family who live in Lubań and whose stud was destroyed in an arson attack. We were able to construct a new paddock and renovate the shed. Over 80 employees contributed to this project. 

Junior high school students from Świdnica visited our headquarters as part of the ‘Young Perspectives’ program that aims at encouraging young people to develop themselves and remain in the city. After all, RST has its roots in Świdnica.

Our employees took part in the Charity Table Football Tournament. They fought for a noble cause, as all the funds raised enabled the surgery and intensive rehabilitation of a 9-year-old Ignaś suffering from quadriplegic cerebral palsy.

The final of the CodersCrew group project (the young programming enthusiasts) was a Hackathon organized at our company’s headquarters in Wrocław. For over 22 hours our mentors gave specialist support to competing teams whose task was to develop a functional web application for educational purposes.

Several times we have been involved in the Te-Reny campaign, during which children from orphanages run by the Siemacha Foundation have the opportunity to experience an amazing adventure. Accompanied by their caratekers, they can go on a field trip in the nearby mountains. A warm meal, different surroundings, attention, conversation and new experiences are what we are able to provide.

During the Christmas Meetings, every effort is made to direct our and our employees’ attention to people whom we can help enjoy this special time. During our ninth campaign – Let’s Do Something Good for Christmas – we supported people from the Palliative Medicine Clinic and Domestic Hospice at the Lower Silesian Oncology Centre in Wroclaw.

One of the team-bonding trips took place in Zagórze Śląskie. During this time, we had the opportunity to prepare beehives for the residents of the local drug rehabilitation centre. Thanks to the beehives, they were able to receive support and training for the professional work in the field of beekeeping.

We are not oblivious to the problems and events that are happening around us or in our closest communities. After upgrading our old equipment to today’s requirements, we passed it on to support students of one of the schools in Trzebnica, where the problem with accessing equipment during distance learning caused problems for many parents.

The next edition of ŚWIT # 2 was organized by our Newbies. Three years ago there was a fun day off school filled with technology and excitement that took place in a 3D cinema in Świdnica. This time we also met at our headquarters with the youngest programming enthusiasts.

We have donated spare desks, school furniture and books to students of the Astrid Lindgren Primary School in Zastruże. The schools lies at the heart of the village community and nurtures a children-friendly atmosphere. Teachers invite local experts to classes, there is no school bell and students learn by experience.
