About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In 2023, we launched the YRIC project, bringing together young volunteers from Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, and France to renovate an old building in Rabka-Zdrój, Poland. This building has since been transformed into the Polish-Ukrainian Youth and Refugee Integration Center, named Kefirek. Ever since that project, the Center has been operating sucessfully, and it is attended by Polish and Ukrainian young people alike. Our goal is to create a space where both Polish and Ukrainian youth can come together, share experiences, and engage in activities that foster personal growth and mutual understanding. Through non-formal learning, cultural exchange, psychological aid and community-driven initiatives, we aim to help young people build skills and resilience. We are also focused on professionalizing efforts around integration and addressing the specific needs of the local community.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
