The organization operates with a strong focus on volunteering and non-formal education methods. Even though most events and projects are not target group or age specific, working with children, especially ones from poor and socially challenged families, is a priority area. One of the main projects that takes place every summer since the beginning of organization's work - summer art camp. With the help of teachers, art instructors, historians and other type of trainers, the camp is striving to encourage children to not only learn about cultural life and nature, but also understand themselves better using ceramics and other art methods.
