Gregory Turkawka worked as a teacher and later as a research and teaching associate at the Zurich University of Teacher Education. The fact that more than one billion people do not have access to education led the Zurich native to establish the Alpha Foundation. The foundation supports learning concepts, education systems, technologies, examination and financing systems, and new forms of living and working together. In August 2020, Gregory Turkawka also founded the association "POIANA CUNOAŞTERII" (Glades of Knowledge) to support marginalized groups in the arts and education.
