She also studied business at The University of Toronto in Canada.

Karolina graduated from The Poznan University of Economics in Poland.
At the same time she has been developing her own feature film scripts, including “All the Things We Do”. In 2008 Karolina was chosen to participate at the Berlinale Talent Campus as a promising producer alongside other fifty producers from around the world. It was shown on RUV in Iceland and CBC in Canada. She co-wrote and co-produced an award-winning documentary Wrath of Gods directed by Jon Gustafsson.
The documentary was screened at numerous film festivals around the world, including USA, Portugal, UK and Poland, and received six awards. It was broadcast on RUV in Iceland and CBC Television in Canada. When we see her for the first time she is at her home, scared of the world that surrounds her. But when she sees a classmate bullied by two older boys, she is the only one who takes a stand and causes other kids to join her.
That causes her to shut off and makes her shy and afraid to become visible to others. Karolina Lewicka, journalist and lecturer at Civitas University, has received the Mariusz Walter Award – Media Personality of the Year!
