international initiatives.
It was officially registered in 2010 in the town of Milicz which is located in the beautiful Barycz Valley, 55 km from Wroclaw . The Foundation is currently conducting
work in four areas:
1) Exchanges for young people and international voluntary service
2) Cooperation with the Poles in exile and with Polish re-emigrants in Poland
3) Contributing to the growth of social participation of people who are politically not involved and increasing in social control over those involved politically
4) Supporting and organizing initiatives associated with artistic photography and film
Our actions under EVS projects and Youth in Action Program and now Erasmus+ are held since 2011. We also coordinate, host and send EVS volunteers. We realize youth exchanges and trainings of soft skills for young people. Thanks to our work, district of Milicz hosted many EVS volunteers. Their presence here has a real impact on breaking of different nationalistic stereotypes and on that we try to focus our activity – through common work of volunteers from Europe and partner countries and local youths prove, that cooperation “down there” is a value without which European Union will be only bureaucratic colossus with feet of clay. We cooperate with local autonomies and other NGOs in order to increase the quality of activities which we carry for the local community.
