This is a continuation of the Association’s mission: daily, practical support for people with migration experience and assistance for schools facing new challenges in multicultural classrooms.
Improving the Well-Being of the School Community – a new project for 2025–2027
This is excellent news for participants of the completed project, which will now continue in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship thanks to the new initiative. Along with the new activities, we have planned an update of this website. You can already read below what we have prepared, as well as directly on the website of the Association Integration Europe – East in the section “Friendly School”.
Everyday work with students with migration and refugee experience, especially from Ukraine, presents schools with challenges that go beyond standard educational activities. It is necessary to provide psychological support, effective intercultural communication, and care for the well-being of the entire school community – students, parents, and staff.
In response to these needs, the Association Integration Europe – East, as the Regional Operator of the Government Programme “Friendly School” (Module 2: Well-Being of the School Community), implements the project “Improving the Well-Being of the School Community in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship”.
Substantive supervision over the activities is carried out by the Świętokrzyski Education Superintendent in Kielce.
