The project is being conducted by the Local Activity Support Centre CAL in research cooperation with Collegium Civitas. Exploratory research project concerns the specific type of the third sector – un-institutionalised civic initiatives. This study will help to identify and better understand the common features on un-institutionalised social initiatives, predict favourable and blocking factors in their environment and to contribute to the development of strategies for unregistered grass-roots initiatives. The final report will be published in two peer-reviewed books (each approx. 10 printed sheets) under the working titles: “Social land-scape Poland 2014” and “Autobiography of the social sector. The Butterfly Effect “.
