Voluntary service gives a chance for self-fulfilment, offers valuable experience and new competences, such as team work, project management, or budget management skills. We are glad we can assist young people in their development.

We thank the Foundation for the Development of the Education System for this great news and the Ius et Civis Foundation for the support they provided in drafting the application.

45 children, divided into two groups, participated in a trip full of adventures and challenges.

The theme of our activities in Luma Foundation is the protection of natural environment, so that the future generation can enjoy beautiful and diversified nature, as we can now.

By taking kids to the forest, showing them the beauty of nature, its power, but also sensitivity of wildlife, we teach them respect for the surrounding. We hope that in the future it is going to fructify, as TOGETHER we can do something good! 

We are delighted to show you the coverage on upcycling workshops we carried out at the end of May.

Upcycling – that is giving a second life to old or used things, is a great idea for preventing overproduction and relieving our planet 
 
What we did was inviting children and adults for the workshops on upcycling of clothing and textiles, showing that redesigning clothes not only gives them new glare, but also may be a great fun and creative way of spending your free time. Paints, sequins, patches, iron-on pieces — they all can save a T-shirt, which is no longer interesting for us, or a stained dress, from ending up in the waste bin and by this make them still serve us for a long time. The workshops were accompanied by a garage sale where the participants could exchange clothes, toys, books, board games — everything we do not use any more and what others may need.
 
By taking up such initiatives we want to make the youngest aware of our responsibility for the natural environment. We really hope that this kind of campaigns will ultimately bring smaller landfills.
 
The events were organised within the “Luma Foundation paints the town green” project financed from the funds of the National Freedom Institute — Centre for Civil Society Development, under the Governmental Programme: Civic Initiatives Fund for 2021-2023.

Another project in the pipeline!

We are glad to spill the beans a little that we have been granted aid for implementation of a project within the FIO “Śląskie Lokalnie” civil initiatives fund.

Only 90 out of 600 submitted project were granted subsidy. The competition was strong, that is why we are delighted with this achievement.
 
Soon we will share some more details on the project.
