The foundation’s mission is to support new residents of Żory and the Żachodni Subregion who decided to settle in Poland, hence 𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐎𝐁𝐂𝐘, i.e. almost like Swój.

The Foundation offers a wide range of support for migrants and war refugees in adaptation and integration into local society, and also promotes Ukrainian-Polish cultural dialogue.

On a daily basis we implement:

• Polish as a foreign language courses for adults and youth
• vocal studio “Gwiazdeczka” for children with refugee experience
• art therapy anti-stress and anti-crisis workshops for children, adolescents and their parents
• Slavic folk art workshops

We consult on the legalization of work, the stay of foreigners and professional development in Poland.

We organize and co-organize integration events in the city of Żory, and we also provide promotional support to the local Ukrainian song group Chornobrywci.

One of the key issues for us is the 2-year-old initiative “I’ll Weave You an Amulet”, which involves weaving camouflage nets by war refugees, which serves as a therapeutic support circle for women affected by the war in Ukraine.

Addresses of masking net weaving points: Żory, ul. Dworcowa 35 / Rybnik, ul. Szafranka 7 / Wodzisław Śląski, ul. Styczyńskiego 2.

We are authentic in what we do: a few years ago we went through a difficult path of adaptation and professional and social implementation in a foreign country, and now we are creating such a support network for others in our region – TO MAKE POLAND BECOME A SECOND HOME FOR US

We invite you to contact us and provide financial support for our statutory activities.
