The Inthinknity Foundation undertook the implementation of the "aWARness" project because it aligns with the statutory activities of supporting youth with forced migration experiences, which have been carried out since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine. The war's onset on our eastern border shaped the foundation's activities since 2022. From the first months of Russia's full-scale aggression, the foundation has supported children and youth from refugee families. Over more than two years, it has implemented projects funded under the Erasmus+ Program (2 small-scale cooperation partnership projects in the Youth sector, 2 participatory projects), financed through grant support from EU, national, and ministerial funds, as well as grants awarded through FED, PZU, and NOWEFIO competitions. This project was the first in which we gave a voice to youth with refugee experiences. Previous beneficiaries of aid activities were given the opportunity to express their opinions among their peers. The youth project group, consisting of 20 young refugees supported by a peer without refugee experience (a person responsible for technical support - a volunteer from the foundation), prepared educational activities aimed at conveying their narrative about the war's outbreak and its consequences for Ukrainian youth. The youth wanted to demonstrate that such a drastic and dramatic change was an extremely challenging experience for them, the effects of which they still feel. Young Ukrainians recorded a series of films titled "A Day That Changed My Life," in which they openly talk about the events of February 2022 and the following weeks and months in which they sought their place in the world. The project's goal was to strengthen lasting peer integration by fostering empathy and understanding among teenagers in the host country, Poland. The project was also a response to the first disturbing social voices, where young people began to perceive refugees as "more privileged," whether at school or economically. Teenagers uncritically accepted statements heard in the media or at home about the threat of war to Poland due to the acceptance of refugees, inflation caused by the armed conflict, or the financial aid directed to Ukrainians. As a result, young people began to forget the origins of their Ukrainian peers' arrival in Poland - they are refugees who had to leave everything behind, including friends, families, beloved pets, homes, passions, and schools. This is precisely what the teenagers involved in the project remind us of - that they would give up everything to be "at home," with their loved ones who stayed behind to fight for a free country. Thanks to this, students from Polish schools could pause and reflect on whether they would truly want to be in the place of their "privileged" Ukrainian peers. The goal of the 10-month initiative was also to reach out to local authorities - school directors, city officials, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and municipal aid institutions. Youth with refugee experience wanted to communicate their needs regarding integration and life in the new reality, which has become their home for longer than any of us expected. The conducted evaluation indicates that the project achieved its intended goals. The social response to the activities was significant - schools, care facilities, and psychological-pedagogical counseling centers reached out to the applicant with proposals for cooperation. The activities were accompanied by a social campaign conducted in local schools and through social media. In summary, the project was the youth's response to the open, full-scale armed conflict in Ukraine. It aligned with the priorities of the Erasmus+ Program, primarily by creating conditions for the social inclusion of people with fewer opportunities - youth with refugee experience. The specific objectives of the initiative also included fostering empathy, enhancing cultural competencies, and understanding religious and cultural diversity among participants in physical events.
