Word from the Founder
When I went to Berlin to judge the Beatbox World Championships in August 2023, I met many organizers of national battles – from all over Europe, and even Australia or Asia. All these organizations have formed NGOs, enabling them to develop faster, acquire funding, and establish international contacts. I thought it was about time for Polish beatboxers to do the same. The Beatbox Institute Foundation was established in October 2023 in Warsaw.
We gather the best beatboxers in the country, provide training, create materials for the entire beatbox community to thrive. We organize the Polish Championships, which will have their 20th edition in 2024. We introduce beatbox into schools.
It’s natural that the next generations of beatboxers will stand on our shoulders. We will ensure the best conditions for the development of art that we can provide. Here, in Poland.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Beatbox Institute Foundation is to popularize the art of vocal human beatbox in Poland and abroad, as well as to promote social development through its practice.
We introduce values of development, respect, and healthy competition into the world of the youth. We believe that through human beatbox, people can find their purpose in life, meet interesting friends, and become part of a supportive group that motivates creative action.
We use human beatbox as a tool for social activities. We demonstrate passion that costs nothing but can change lives. We activate excluded communities, exercise speech muscles with children, provide concrete development skills, and foster integration.
We aim to establish the art of human beatbox in mainstream music, popularize such sounds in the media, at concerts, and in workshops. We want to create a beatbox education system, train a cadre of instructors, provide proven tools to music teachers and speech therapists. We want to organize the World Championships in Poland. In 10 years, we aim to have 10 times more beatboxers in Poland.
