Aleksandra Zemke is the first Pole in history who has won a prestigious World Summit Youth Award (WSYA) awarded by the United Nations to those projects which use the internet and advanced technology to support the UN Millennium Development Goals.
In cooperation with Asociacion Smilemundo, a non-governmental organization founded by Zemke, she has created an educational game dubbed SmileUrbo, which in the jury's opinion is "a fantastic tool for learning how to actively participate in democracy and shows how to make a decision focused on developing the common good, not individual interests."
SmileUrbo is an interactive, role-playing game that encourages players to facilitate development in their community. The project was given an award in the Education for All! category.
