“A Great Deal of People” presents the genesis and historical context of organic work in the Prussian partition in the 19th and 20th centuries, and above all, it is a story about the heroes of organic work and the social projects they implemented. Walking through the streets of Poznań, as well as many other cities in Greater Poland, we pass traces of the life and work of extraordinary Poles who called themselves organic workers. They left behind not only specific architectural objects and institutions that are still active today, but - more importantly - their activities contributed to the creation of the ethos of the people of Greater Poland. The exhibition “A Great Deal of People. Heroes of Organic Work in Greater Poland” and the accompanying educational program are intended to revive the history of those who, in the 1830s and 1840s, decided to oppose the Prussian invaders in the Grand Duchy of Poznań and work to strengthen the economic and cultural potential of Polish society. The special value of the “A Great Deal of People” project is the cooperation established by the Greater Poland Independence Museum in Poznań with General Dąbrowski's Palace in Winna Góra and institutions belonging to the Organic Work Trail. The Organic Work Trail is an initiative of the Local Government of the Greater Poland Voivodeship, which brings together institutions, non-governmental organizations and local government units related to the idea and heritage of organic work. The exhibition “A Great Deal of People - heroes of organic work in Greater Poland in the 19th century” was co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Local Government of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

A theatre performance produced in cooperation with dancers of the Polish Dance Theatre, inaugurating the Organic Work Trail, a cultural initiative promoting people, places and values related to organic work in Greater Poland. Curator's description We all associate organic work in Greater Poland not only with building a civil society, foundational education, equalizing opportunities and supporting the fight for workers' rights, but also with caring for the development of culture and the immediate environment. It was the groundwork and paving the bloodless path to freedom that became the foundation of the victorious Greater Poland Uprising and regaining independence. However, are the ideas proclaimed by Emilia Sczaniecka, Karol Marcinkowski and Julia Woykowska still valid today? Professor Anna Wolff-Powęska, an outstanding historian of ideas, writes in the text entitled Dekalog pracy organicznej XXI wieku (“The Decalogue of Organic Work of the 21st Century”): "Fragmented societies without orientation need a new civic activity more than ever in recent decades. Following Barbara Skarga, I believe that citizenship has not only political meaning, but above all moral meaning. It teaches being together, not in a crowd that will soon disperse, but in a community connected by common action and obligations. Only a citizen aware of his duties gives meaning to the community, frees him from loneliness, the feeling of emptiness and teaches solidarity in action.” In the face of many contemporary challenges and threats, such as a war at our borders, the climate crisis, growing inequalities and an aging society, the values espoused over a hundred years ago by forerunners of foundational work are becoming extremely relevant and needed today. In a world where young generations are building - as Zygmunt Bauman wrote - their houses of sand, it is solidarity, equality and freedom that should constitute the lasting foundations of the future. In 2023, the idea of creating a Greater Poland Organic Work Trail will materialize, which will bring the heritage of this unique, socially constructed road to freedom closer to both local communities and guests from other parts of Poland or the world. On the occasion of its opening, artists associated with the Polish Dance Theatre created a unique performance called "Amnis organica", in which they use the language of body and dance to tell what organic work is from their perspective. They talk about the need for unity – a community body composed of individual individuals looking for solidarity, support and security. Because in times of social tensions and "world breakdown", what is organic is community - between people, other beings and the planet. The performance was financed by the Greater Poland Voivodeship Government.

The second herstorical conference organized in the General Dąbrowski’s Palace in Winna Góra once again focuses on the values and figures related to organic work in Greater Poland, situating them in contemporary contexts. The program includes three thematic panels: work, language, body. These topics refer to the herstory of Greater Poland's organic farmers. At the same time, they are important from the perspective of women's contemporary activities: activist, educational, cultural and professional. Each panel is under the patronage of selected activists from Greater Poland. Their stories constitute a starting point for a discussion about the current importance of organic values - considering their relevance as well as aspects that require rethinking. The conference consists of lectures followed by with a joint discussion with the audience and a series of workshops. The event is cyclical and is part of the Organic Work Trail.

The first herstory event in General Dąbrowski's Palace in Winna Góra. The theme of the conference was the herstory of organic work, which is reflected in the contemporary activities of women and can inspire to solve current problems. The starting point was the exchange of experiences between socially engaged women who represent various fields and professions. Members of the Farmer’s Wives’ Association, researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, activists and local government activists, invited to share their experience, presented their own experiences of social, cultural and educational work. They also shared their knowledge about raising funds and cooperation with local government units. An important element of the conference was to emphasize the importance of discovering and incorporating herstory as a narrative that co-creates national identity and inspires the fight for broadly understood social justice. The event was accompanied by an exhibition of artistic and craft works by local artists from the Śrem Municipality: members of the Farmer’s Wives’ Association and individual artists. On the second day of the conference, workshops were held for women living locally and willing participants of the ecofeminist conference, during which cosmetic products were made based on plants found in the palace park.
