ESC: MultiArt Festival in Kalisz - cultural immersion in Poland

Stowarzyszenie Jeden Świat, eng. One World Association (OWA) was registered in 1994 by a group of very motivated young volunteers and local activists. Since then it has become a well-established voluntary organisation, appreciated and recognised by both national partners and local, grassroots communities.
Our mission is to promote the idea of peace and understanding between people through international and national volunteering and non-formal education programmes. We are the Polish branch of Service Civil International (www.sci.ngo), a global movement that has been working for peace for more than 101 years now.
Our actions are based on the belief that one of the most important things that we all need to gain today is the ability to cooperate peacefully between people, communities, cultures and nations. Therefore, together with volunteers and partners, we implement the vision of our Association by educating about the modern, diverse world and building mutual trust between people, regardless of their identity, physical abilities, orientation, or national, ethnic or religious affiliation.
Working with the youth is very dear to our hearts, as it allows us to shape a generation that will work for a peaceful, united Europe (and beyond).
Main target groups is youth between 13-30 and people working with them like teachers, trainers, local leaders.
We create and work on good quality partnerships between NGO, public institutions and grassroots communities.
Since 2004, we have had the status of a Public Benefit Organization.
