The project is targeted at local communities at risk of social exclusion from the poorest, peripheral regions in Poland. We will conduct a series of classes to develop and raise social and educational competences. The pretext will be to document and organize still preserved material evidence of the presence of various ethnic, religious communities: Dutch, Jewish, German, Russian. As part of the project, we will inventory objects, most often forgotten,but existing cemeteries (from XIX-XX century)

periphery in Poland, southern part of the Cuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship; country:Wloclawek, Lipno

No integrated shape of public space, no faith in areas outside the centers of cultural life in the possibility of change. Unemployment in the Włocławek and Lipno poviats remains at the basic level on a national scale. The consequences for social integrity and developmental development are fatal. Problems in creating positive social relations. Local communities have low confidence in public institutions, all forms of cooperation. From our data it is comparable that there is a need for integration. The best use is the animation of activities for the disappearing cultural heritage. Idea - cooperation with organizations from other European countries.

It is addressed to seniors, children and youth from small villages and towns of poor regions. Feeling of peripherality, lack of opportunities, lack of public space, recognition and perspectives. The feeling of being marginalized is common, especially in a situation where - each of the villages has unusual cultural resources - remaining in ruins. Compared to "big cities" and "famous" regions. We have conducted public consultations, most people want to get involved in restoring local cultural heritage. Together, we will create an answer to the lack of activities integrating the region's community. Systematic activities documenting and protecting the material cultural heritage, multiculturalism of the region - this is the idea of the inhabitants of the region.

Working together will be a pretext for practical social and civic education, combining inclusive qualities, raising the level of education and skills - making the inhabitants of small towns far away from urban centers more valuable. Building social bonds will be a thread connecting activities: social, intergenerational, environmental.
