The programme provides opportunities for those who are eager to explore the Wilanów commons and parks in Ursynów to immerse themselves in nature. People are invited to the temporary exhibition, educational and recreational workshops inspired by integral ecology and an outdoor game (geocaching).
The project aims to draw attention to today's ecological challenges. It is also an invitation to the local community (especially in the vicinity of the Museum of John Paul II and Primate Wyszyński: residents of Wilanów and Ursynów) to engage in nature-friendly and cultural activities and encourage entire families to have an efficient and responsible leisure time. The project consists of several complementary elements: outdoor exhibition, geocaching, creative and handicraft workshops, outdoor concerts. Each of them are prepared in an attractive form for different age groups: using new technologies for young people and analog forms for older individuals.

The cycling workshops in Kampinoski National Park are an unconventional offering from the Mt 5,14 | Museum of John Paul II and Primate Wyszyński, aimed at adults who enjoy combining substantive knowledge with active leisure on a bike. The Kampinoski Forest is an ideal location to do this, for three reasons. Firstly, in the local villages and forest trails, there are many little-known relics associated with the life and activities of Stefan Wyszyński, who during the German occupation served as chaplain at the Blind Institute in Laski and as a pastor of the Home Army "Kampinos" Group, which earned an honorable mention in the Warsaw Uprising. Secondly, active leisure, so highly promoted today by doctors, psychologists, and athletes, is an opportunity for creative time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It also provides an opportunity to learn about many fascinating episodes from the homeland's history for those who may be bored by the traditional style of knowledge transmission through lectures and conferences. Thirdly, and finally, it is an excellent opportunity to get to know the exceptional national park located at the gates of the capital – a location rarely encountered and having its counterparts only in a few national parks worldwide that are adjacent to the capital city (Vienna, Budapest, Caracas, Nairobi).
