Organisations involved in activities in support of Lublin minorities

Organisations involved in activities in support of Lublin minorities

Dla Ziemi” Association was established in 1995 and has since then completed dozens of projects – both small ones, targeted at the local community, improving the educational situation of village children, youth exchange schemes, promoting active involvement of youth in voluntary activities and the implementation of their own projects, as well as large projects, addressed to the main group we work with, i.e. refugees and migrants. The Association has been implementing the following projects: ”STRANGERS? Growing closer together” and “We want to live in Poland”, or a project targeted at female refugees and migrants titled “The voice of women”, which is aimed to promote the social activity of this group. The Association’s activities also include a second line, which is operated by the SZUM Youth Group attached to the organisation (the group has been active for 10 years), whose objective is to build a Rural Centre for Alternative Technologies in our neighbourhood. The Centre is to enable young people to build their own homes with the use of an environmentally-friendly, traditional technology, without raising bank loans, in compliance with nature, on a collaborative and cooperative basis, encouraging the use of solutions alternative to those commonly in use, using local materials.

Homo Faber Association has been operating since 2004, and its primary object of interest is the relationship between the individual and the authorities. The objective of the organisation is to monitor public authorities in a critical and substantive way to see if they effectively perform their obligations and observe human rights and freedoms. The Association undertakes the representation of minorities and excluded groups. It counteracts discrimination irrespective of gender, political and other views, race, skin colour, national and ethnic origin, religion, language, age and sexual orientation. Homo Faber seeks to identify/track challenges facing contemporary states. It tries to identify the newly emergent social phenomena, pose questions and look for feasible solutions. At a more practical level, Homo Faber pioneers foreigner-focused “welcome” actions – for a few years now, it has been publishing its Kapownik directory – a practical guide to living in Lublin, edited in the form of an academic calendar in three languages; tours foreigners around Lublin, introducing the city at the cultural, official, cost-saving and historical levels, teaching the Polish language and culture.

Volunteer Centre. The Volunteer Centre in Lublin has been in existence since 1999. The idea to establish a volunteer work service in Lublin arose from activities pursued by youth and clergy associated with the Youth Pastoral Work Centre of the Lublin Archdiocese, established by Archbishop Józef Życiński, and contacts with the leader of the Italian volunteer service movement Staś Gawroński. The social projects undertaken disclosed the need to set up a Volunteer Centre in our city. Since then, nearly 20,000 people have joined the service through the Volunteer Centre. The Volunteer Centre is an organisation comprehensively involved in volunteer work. Its main areas of activity include the coordination of volunteers’ work, formation, promotion and inspiration of local communities and pastoral work communities towards creating volunteer clubs, offices and centres.
