From adaptation to integration – supporting third-country nationals in intercultural integration in Wrocław 🇪🇺

Supporting the integration and adaptation of new residents in Wrocław

“From adaptation to integration – supporting third-country nationals in intercultural integration in Wrocław” is a project co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for Lower Silesia 2021–2027 programme, implemented in Wrocław by the Wrocław Centre for Social Development in 2025.

Project objective

The project aims to strengthen the competences and skills needed for adaptation and integration of 840 third-country nationals (TCNs) between January and December 2025 through information, consultation, educational, social and civic activities, counselling and psychological support, as well as activities to strengthen the competences of the receiving society.

Who is the project aimed at?

The project is aimed at third-country nationals (TCNs) – migrants and refugees for whom Wrocław and Lower Silesia have become a new place to live, work and study, with particular focus on people who have arrived as a result of the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine.

Members of the receiving society will also benefit from activities to strengthen intercultural competences and cross-sector cooperation for the inclusion of TCNs.

Comprehensive support will be provided to TCNs of all ages – adults (including parents/carers), older people, children and young people.

Project activities:

1. individual advice and information support through consultations and training at WroMigrant, the information point for migrants and refugees;
2. specialist legal advice for migrants and refugees;
3. specialist individual psychological counselling for adults;
4. publication of the “School Starter Package” supporting the integration of children in Polish schools;
5. support in learning Polish for children, young people and adults;
6. integration and educational walks around Wrocław for new residents;
7. integration and educational activities with elements of art therapy for adults;
8. workshops and integration meetings for the receiving community;

Expected results

As a result of the project, it is expected that:

• the social situation of at least 673 people (80% of those supported) will improve after they complete the programme;

• at least 100 members of the receiving society (90% of those supported) will improve their intercultural and/or cross-sector cooperation competences for the inclusion of TCNs;
