Main Goal of the Project:
Social integration of Ukrainian citizens (40F, 10M) who are either students or unemployed (including the jobless and economically inactive), residing in the Greater Poland Voivodeship as defined by the Civil Code. These individuals must not hold citizenship of any EU country or countries such as Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland. They must be legally residing in Poland, with documents authorizing their stay and employment or documents confirming their protection status. The preferred support group within the project will be those granted temporary protection following the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine (these individuals will receive extra recruitment points). Migrants arriving for work, students, as well as refugees and others granted various forms of protection, including people with disabilities (8 participants: 7F/1M), may also be supported. The project offers comprehensive support, including vocational counseling, individual psychological counseling, individual legal counseling, training on Polish values and culture, Polish language courses, certified vocational training, and local integration events. Each participant will receive support from a Ukrainian language interpreter.
Participation in the project is free of charge.
