The article focuses on the social activities of the so-called 'new-settlers societies' ('nowoosadnicy') in contemporary Poland. They are the societies of the persons coming from the big cities, who are well-educated artists or scientists. They decided to live in the countryside because of their ecological ethos. They build the neighbourhood communities and they cooperate together in many spheres such as organising the educational projects addressed to the peasants. The topics of these projects mostly deal with the ecology or culture. The article reviews the projects developed by the 'new-settlers' associations and juxtaposes them to the peasants' cultural preferences, which sometimes differ from these projects. The authoress poses the question about the adequacy of cultural activities of such environmental societies in contemporary Polish countryside.

The article is based on the field-works of so-called alternative communities, which are the groups of people who have decided to change the place of living from city to village due to their ecological ideology. There are many differences between the new-settlers and the peasants. One of them is the difference in the way of thinking about the work. The alternative way of thinking about the work takes its origin from 1960s, the period of the counterculture. The article presents the roots of the alternative style of work and the mechanism in which this style is being included in the contemporary euroatlantic cultural mainstream. The authoress underlines that the new style of work plays the crucial role in the social adaptation to the new situation on the labor market.
