The meetings are aimed at integrating the Ukrainian community with Polish, preventing discrimination against immigrants, while taking care to preserve the cultural identity of the newcomers. In the first place, the concept of culture is discussed and its indispensability in human life is considered. The role of cultural institutions is also analyzed, with particular emphasis on cultural transmission towards the emerging multicultural society. Pilot studies on the organization of cultural and educational activities for children from Ukraine by Polish libraries are discussed. Further on, the cultural and educational activities in the Gorzów library addressed to refugee children in order to accelerate their resilience are presented. The role of cultural security was also noticed to finally emphasize the importance of ethnosecurity and ethnopedagogy. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20035 Tytuł: Autonomy of Refugees from Ukraine — Tasks for Education in Poland Autorzy: Śliwowski, Tomasz Abstrakt: On February 24th, 2022, the situation in Ukraine changed dynamically due to political events that had a significant impact on the lives of many people. Among the most affected groups are women and children who, forced to flee the threat, have found shelter in Poland. Since then, many countries neighbouring Ukraine, including Poland, have faced the unique task of providing organised assistance and integration to these people. In this article, I present the situation of women and children of refugees from Ukraine, highlighting the challenges they face, as well as the hopes and initiatives that can help them rebuild their lives in a new environment. The role of Polish society, institutions and NGOs is becoming a key element of this process, which requires cooperation on many levels. In this article, I present an attempt to define the concept of autonomy and a sense of personal effectiveness, as well as the tasks that Polish education faced in order to help refugees create autonomy and agency in the new reality in two directions: the individual experiences of refugee women and the educational situation of their children. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20033 Tytuł: Adaptation of Children From Refugee Families in the Context of Their Experience of Stress and Trauma Autorzy: Chomiuk, Anna Abstrakt: The aim of the article is to theoretically consider the adaptation of refugee children in relation to the stress and trauma they experience. The adaptation of children from refugee families is not easy, as they have experienced traumatic events, and the situation of forced migration results in the occurrence of many stressors. Children coming to Poland face many difficulties that arise as a result of their experiences. Trauma, stress and its effects affect the child, who can often feel lost in a new situation. Therefore, the Polish education system creates opportunities to learn Polish and organizes psychological and pedagogical support. Working with children from refugee families is challenging, so learning about the problems that affect refugee children is crucial to help them effectively. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20032 Tytuł: Support for children and families, including those arriving in the face of the war from Ukraine, offered in specialist day care facilities in Bialystok Autorzy: Sołbut, Agnieszka Abstrakt: Day care centres provide families with assistance in the care and upbringing of their children. Various forms of classes, from pedagogy of play to specialist therapeutic help, planned in the annual calendar of the institutions constitute a great support for families. Classes, free time activities, trips are free of charge, which is important in the case of families struggling with life and financial difficulties. Specialist day-care centres are a bridge between educational institutions and the family house. Such places constituted a mainstay for children coming to Białystok from a war-torn country, from Ukraine. This article is a summary of methodological activities that took place in specialized day care facilities with the participation and great commitment of students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Bialystok. The article presents good practices that can also be promoted in other institutions in the country. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
