A Great Deal of People. Heroes of organic work in Greater Poland
“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.
