Mission Statement
The Centre for Environmental Activities "Zrodla" is a nonprofit organization with a mission to educate students, teachers, and the general public about local environmental issues, and to expand their capacity to act for a more sustainable Poland. The members of Zrodla believe that it is important not only to work directly in conservation and welfare efforts, but to instill in people a love for their surroundings and their fellow inhabitants. In doing this they ensure that their work will be carried on and expanded for future generations. Zrodla was founded in 1993, as a branch of the Interacademic Ecological Lobby and was registered as an association in February, 1997.
About This Cause
Ośrodek Działań Ekologicznych "Źródła" (The Centre for Environmental Activities) is a non-profit association based in Łódź, Poland, but with its branches in Warsaw, Kraków and Katowice. Our mission is to educate students, teachers, and the general public in order to expand their capacity to act for a more sustainable world. We focus on environmental and global education. We have been working since 1993, we started out as a small local organization, but we continued to develop, realizing ever larger projects. We developed the largest growth in 2008-2015, when we opened branches in other cities and started operations throughout the country. We also organize trips for children and youth from all over Poland ("Very Green School"). In recent years, we have carried out several projects on outdoor education, also in international cooperation with organizations from the Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. We attach great importance to the values that the founders of the association had in 1993 and in addition to every-day educational work (like running workshops and trainings) we initiate various social activities. One of the important topics for us is animal rights and we are currently campaigning against animal hunting.
