%X Polish education have teamed up with the history of the religious gatherings, especially this can be seen in the case of elementary education. In the northern districts of the Eastern Greater Poland the Congregation of the Immaculate Virgin Mary servant nuns existed in the first half of the 20th century, which were taking care of children in protective centres and hostels and were assumed by local landowners. At the same time they interacted with the surrounding population and were helping the sick. Those centres were located in such places as: Kazimierz Biskupi, Grodziec, Nieświatów, Jóźwin, Słaboludz, Maliniec and Uniejów. Their existence in the region ended in the 90s of the 20th century. The last centre which was left was Uniejów. In the mid-20th century the rest of the centres were closed. You might want to recreate, though briefly, educational and social activities of the congregation in the northern part of the Eastern Greater Poland, which for the vast majority of the local population is still a so called „white card“.
