The start of the New Year is a great time to sum up of one of the STOCK Foundation’s earliest initiatives – the Spirit of Ukraine refugee programme and Polish language courses. Funded by us, the programme was implemented in cooperation with IKO (Institute for the Education of Foreigners).

We would like to thank all the participants for their involvement and are glad that our initiative met its objectives! According to the participants, the assistance provided helped them to integrate personally and professionally and had a positive impact on their lives: Ms Viktoria has started working at school, Ms Tetiana from Hrubieszów has passed the examination at the Medical Chamber and is working as a doctor at a hospital, Ms Anna is working as a dentist, Ms Maja has moved to Warsaw, Ms Yulia is working at a company in Lublin and Ms Tetiana is working as an office technician at the municipality office.
