Implementing this project, the main goal was to create conditions conducive to the effective integration of refugees from Ukraine. Through innovative model courses, the project aimed to promote positive prosocial patterns, civic activation, and social initiatives. Focused on two main beneficiary groups—refugees and personnel from organizations in Poland and the Czech Republic, as well as community leaders—the project aimed to impart knowledge about cultural differences, strengthen the values of intercultural dialogue, and promote tolerance for diversity. Through its dual-track approach, the project aimed to educate communities in the partner countries, supporting social engagement. Simultaneously, through educational activities directed at citizens of Ukraine, the project sought to facilitate their integration into new social, educational, and professional environments in Poland and the Czech Republic. The ultimate goal was to prevent the marginalization of the refugee group and increase the social and civic activity of local communities in the partner areas. The project also envisaged an indirect goal—strengthening the partnership's potential by developing the competencies of employees and collaborators in the capacity-building
The project effectively addressed the needs of young refugees from Ukraine. The project activities were implemented in Poland by the APURE Association for the Development of Regions and in the Czech Republic by the USTAV SOCIALNICH INOVACI OPS. The project provided support in adapting to a new socio-economic environment, offering practical and emotional assistance through planned activities. It is worth emphasizing that the project not only positively impacted the target group but also developed the competencies of the personnel from both organizations implementing the project. The use of modern educational tools allowed for the identification of individual needs of refugees and the effective provision of support. Participants acquired job application skills, supporting their social and professional integration. The overall efforts contributed to improving the quality of assistance provided to refugees by both organizations. In summary, the project comprehensively and effectively addressed identified needs, supporting young refugees in key areas of adaptation and social integration.
