Completed works:

2019
Three cemeteries of Polish Armenians were inventoried as part of the project: Kuty, Banilov, Sniatyn. 230 inventory cards were prepared, including Kuty - 169, Baniłów - 21, Sniatyn - 30. Cezary Michno, the conservator, gave lectures on how to inventory and maintain tombstones. At the same time, volunteers took part in daily lectures, such as: "Armenians in Poland. Past and Present", "History of Armenians in Kuty", "The dialect, dialect or language of Armenians of Kuty?", "Armenian beliefs", "1183 or... 1363?".

2020
Within the framework of the volunteer camp, young people carried out cleaning work in the cemeteries in Kuty and Sniatyn. On the other hand, inventory work was carried out in Sniatyn and Mikulinets. During their stay in Kuty, multimedia presentations were made about the Battle of Zadwór and the Zarugiewicz family. The educational programme was complemented by the screening of a film entitled "Armenian Mother, Jadwiga Zarugiewiczowa - symbolic mother of the Unknown Soldier".

It was planned to prepare about 50 inventory cards. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find new tombstones of Polish Armenians in both the cemeteries in Sniatyn, Mikulinets and Kuty due to the inaccessibility of the area where the search was to be carried out. The removal of the volunteer trees and bushes overgrowing these areas requires the use of heavy equipment.
