Hi, I’m
Przemek Staroń!
I am a psychologist, a cultural expert and above all a teacher. People associate me with Professor Snape, creativity or Harry Potter. Well, there’s something to it. I am trying to enthuse people with critical thinking, faith in humanity and it’s perpetration.
Be my guest
World of Staroń
Harry Potter is not only a tale for kids, but it’s also a study of modern society fixed into a tale. It doesn’t teach that magic exists, but that there are people who choose cruelty, which can be defeated. The greatest magic – the one which defeated Voldemort – was a magic of love.
Magical education and WOW effect
I’m edu-enthusiast, a big fan of versatility and multidimensionality. I think that education is magical, that it is WOW! I don’t only think so, I apply that in everyday life!
The Order of the Phoenix
The Order of the Phoenix is a symbolic name. In J.K. Rowling books it’s the name of a group of wizards, who fight dark magic and Voldemort. In Sopot it’s a group of philosophy enthusiasts, who fight stupidity, ignorance and callousness.
#Utrzy classroom
Out of my dreams of the best school for wizards came out magical place, where everybody is accepted, understood, appreciated and important. The place nobody wants to leave.
Philosophy
Philosophy has always been to me mother of every kind of scientific thinking. The essence of philosophy is being surprised and amazed by the World. All of the World. It asks questions which every of us asks at least once in our lifetime, for instance in tough moments: why am I living? Why did it happen to me? What’s the meaning of everything? It’s the mother of all sciences.
Toolbox: LEGO, games and books
Almost everything from our surrounding is amazing and can be shown or explained in many various ways. I’m a fan of using all kinds of educational methods and tools.
Social media and new technologies
Every tool, which is original, or used by teenagers for another purpose than originally meant is perfect to use as a part of “magic education”. This also applies to social media.
Trainings, performances, consultations
Very often, I give speeches, conduct the training and conferences. I love to share my knowledge with other teachers, mostly by training on conferences. I also educate the elderly by giving lectures for University of the Third Age.
Media and publications
I regularly appear in many magazines. I am a frequent guest on radio and television programmes. I am also an official publishing consultant.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

My job comes to trying to accompany young people in their self development, doubts, questions, joys and fascinations. Everything else I do, so to say, by the way. Everything else is built on community, which we are creating with younger and elder people, or maybe, with people born earlier and later. And this is the most important thing for me – building relations and giving people a feeling of being important, of being capable of doing anything they want, of having real great power inside of them.
