Positive Education Institute

The program's primary objective was to enhance the well-being and meaningful engagement of young Ukrainian refugees, as well as support their integration into the educational and social systems in Poland. PEI successfully established and maintained 5 Adaptation Centers, which served as safe and welcoming spaces for Ukrainian and Polish students and allowed them to come together to play and learn, fostering a sense of belonging. For 3 months, 280 students in the centers had the opportunity to undergo EAA's learning modules—the Integration and Academic Packages, benefit from the support of specialists (psychologists and therapists), and learn Polish through both Ukrainian and Polish teachers. Moreover, EAA's support packages (Bedtime Stories and Activity Book) were used by facilitators in these centers for productive engagement during the children's free time and also disseminated to Ukrainian mothers online. PEI also implemented the program within formal education institutions (100 primary and secondary schools) in Poland, where Ukrainian and Polish students benefited from EAA's customised month-long Integration and Academic Packages without placing additional burdens on existing school systems and management.
