Integration through education – providing students from Ukraine with the conditions for learning and integration by modernising the teaching facilities in Wałbrzych

Since 24 February 2022, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine, there has been an influx of Ukrainian citizens seeking refuge, support and a place to live in Wałbrzych. There are currently 2,300 registered refugees from Ukraine in Wałbrzych, although it is estimated that it may be approx. 4,000 people. 550 Ukrainian children of all ages who came to the city with carers attend the Wałbrzych educational institutions. The capacity of Wałbrzych educational institutions has reached its limit. Therefore, the subject of the project is adaptation works in the premises of the following educational institutions, whose governing body is the Municipality of Wałbrzych – a city with the status of a county: 1. School and Preschool Team No. 8, ul. Poznańska 8 in Wałbrzych, in order to create a Local Government kindergarten – renovation and adaptation of the premises in the School building for the creation of a Local Government Kindergarten for 150 children, with access for disabled people to all floors – stairwell. 2. School and Preschool Team No. 1, ul. 1 May 105 in Wałbrzych, in order to improve the educational conditions for preschoolers, pupils and pupils coming from Ukraine – refurbishment of the connecting building of the gymnasium with the school, including providing access for people with disabilities through the reconstruction of the existing slipway. Part of the activities is the delivery and installation of school cabinets. The above-mentioned scope will make it possible to ensure the right conditions for education and long-term integration of people who arrived in Wałbrzych as a result of the war in Ukraine. The project will be implemented entirely in Wałbrzych. The applicant is responsible for the preparation, implementation, settlement and sustainability of the project, who has the human, technical and organizational resources of the University of Warsaw in Wałbrzych. Due to the nature and subject matter of the project, which requires urgent action, in order to ensure adequate living conditions for those from Ukraine, all investment activities in the buildings covered by the project are underway.
