Kultura ukraińska w przestrzeniach Poznania po 24 lutego 2022 roku – rekonesans wstępny wraz z komunikatem autoetnograficznym

Abstract

The text, which consists of two independent parts, is an attempt to summarise the first two years of the presence of war refugees from Ukraine, the majority of whom were women with children, in Poznań and in its urban agglomeration. The questions posed by Agnieszka Kulig mainly concern local initiatives and projects undertaken mainly at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, in particular at the Faculty of Educational Studies. The connections and the resulting interpersonal relationships have allowed for the creation of a kind of subtly constructed contacts between individual institutions and entities participating in the refugee support. In the second part of the article, Małgorzata Grzywacz, using the autoethnographic method, analysed her activities for the benefit of children and young people from Ukraine, a significant area which concerned the creation of a safe space for traumatised people seeking refuge. The commitment to help resulted in the creation of a club for children and young people, operating in cooperation with the Lutheran parish in Poznań. Two years of activity have made it possible to stabilise the situation of the project participants, to root them in the space of Poznań and to enable them to independently participate in the area of culture and art.
