In 2015 Wrocław foundation "Ważka" in cooperation with some Polish scientific institutions organized a project: "Local folk groups – an ethnographic laboratory". The project was financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The organizers studied 96 folk groups active in Rural Women's Circles in 4 voivodships. It was established that their activities concentrate round periodical events, mainly official ones such as local harvest festivals, historic anniversaries, annual reviews etc. Some of them accompany church holidays: Easter, Christmas, Corpus Christi. Folk groups' activities are also connected with local initiatives of various organizations and local celebrations. The periodical character of these activities triggers specific preparations and determines the repertoire as well as the division of duties among group members.
