Hello! We are The Foundation for the Traditions of Town and Country, a NGO from Poland interested in culture and education. The beginning of our foundation reaches 2013. For last 4 years, we organized many different actions. Few described below.
German Death Camps
Very often in different worldwide medias has been spotted false terms "Polish death camps". From 2015 FTTC superior an imperative target to fight with those phrases. Thanks to the surfers and several patriotic organization support, we could prosecute various actions. On Polish and European streets had been seen thousands of leaflets and posters. During 'World Youth Day' appeared some billboards. On 22nd December 2016, a decisive sentence had been executed in Karol Tendera's complaint case against German TV station - ZDF. It's been concerned to using "Polish death camps" phrases. Polish court command to publish an apology in German on the main site of a station's portal and to leave them for one month. ZDF didn't carry out the sentence. Thousands of Polish surfers have demanded a proper execution of the sentence. ZDF TV remained impassive. Under these circumstances, we decided to send mobile billboard to ZDF's main office to summon them to apologize. It was the first stop on over 4 thousand of kilometers tour: Mainz (ZDF main office), Wiesbaden, Bonn, Brussel, London, Cambridge, Oxford, Birmingham, and Berlin.
Currently, our plans are about a bus-museum, which will exhibit the history of Poland during World War II. We are hoping, that we will be able to realize our plan and hit the road to the US and Europe's best universities.
"Królestwo Bez Kresu"
Since 2015 we are running a tea house and an art club - "Królestwo Bez Kresu" ("The Kingdom without limit"). This place's location is in Rzeszow, inspired by the poetry of Zbigniew Herbert. We organize lectures, discussions, workshops, exhibitions, poetry slams, concerts, traditional dance classes and plenty different events. On October this year, we started our own chocolate creation. Also, the place includes an escape room based on Herbert's poems.
Livland project
In 2014 we performed a 4-month project for Polish minority in Latvia. The main action was a historical workshop in Polish school in Daugavpils. Aside from that, we also helped Polish Community in Latvia to realize films. Moreover, we gathered big photographic archive. Currently, our actions are concerned with popularization of Livland history and Latvian culture.
Songs of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Since 2008 @hallmann is researching in XIX century song-books for forgotten songs. We are trying to record, share and popularize them.
Games
Games have an important educational influence, for example, help to absorb more knowledge. Many types of research approve this. At present, we are working on three different board games. The first game is concerned with anti-communist movement 1944-1956. The next one is a geopolitical board game, showing the rules of the world. Third game shows the history of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during XVII century. We are going to publish some games in 2018.
Also, we organize live-action role-playing games (LARP), e.g. "Tarnow'46".
Maps
Based on Google Maps, we created two different type of maps. First is dedicated to anti-communist underground and the other one to Polish signs in Latvia. Moreover, we have the plan to create another map as a part of the action German Death Camps
