About Us

About us

We are all from different backgrounds, but we share a common goal – work at the grass roots, in line with Żeromski’s idea (a Polish positivist writer whose aim was, among many other things, to help people to live and this idea was promoted in his works). As much as painstaking, thankless and non-spectacular our work may be, in the long-term perspective provides the best results.

 

Our assumption is that there appeared a need and a place to implement some grass root activities, to organise something spontaneously. There is a choice – you may either complain about the reality or tame it.  Some attempts must be made, therefore, in order to change the way of thinking, yet it is not about moralising. It is all about positive and constructive activities.

 

We believe that truth will defeat itself. We have pure intentions, and our deeds show it. Although we operate away from the world of big politics, we are close to people and  their needs. We actively participate in various activities pro publico bono, which range from cultural, artistic and social ones to those which help to strengthen democracy.

We are active and operate in Poland (Province of Warmia and  Mazury / Ostróda). We' ve existed since 2012 in Ostróda.

What we do

What we do

Currently, we engage in a project the pillar of which is an online, local    community television in internet - "RzeczJasna TV"  (www.rzeczjasnaTV.pl ). This medium helps various cultural and educational initiatives to be noticed and recognised. Our materials are prepared by volunteers who actively participate in this project and for whom we also organise specialisation workshops.

  • 2014-2016: the project called We have a voice subsidised by the programme from Norwey Grants. For eighteen months, we enabled the young to have their voices heard and their actions noticed. They were able to take the floor and express their opinions on issues crucial to them. They prepared special extras to and its online versions (, , i and – all those are regional newspapers printed and issued in our region). What is more, we prepared photo-video coverages of various events. The project allowed the young to touch uponsuch issues as social participation, the rights of children and teenagers, tolerance, and contribution to culture. As a result of this project, 72 four-page extras were issued, prepared entirely by the young journalists.
