Together in Poland — Bridges of Integration

About the Project

The project "Together in Poland — Bridges of Integration for Third-Country Nationals" addresses insufficient systemic integration mechanisms available to foreigners in Poland, specifically within the Pomeranian region.

In the context of growing migration flows, the project aims to establish conditions that enable foreign nationals to adapt effectively to life in Poland, while supporting the host society in understanding and embracing cultural diversity.

The initiative is implemented in alignment with Poland's Comprehensive and Responsible Migration Strategy for 2025–2030.

Main Project Objective

Multi-dimensional support for the integration process of third-country nationals (TCNs) in Poland, at both individual and societal levels, while actively countering racism and xenophobia and fostering intercultural cooperation and open mindsets.

Specific Objectives

The project focuses on:

• supporting active civic and economic participation of foreign residents,
• providing accessible Polish language instruction,
• promoting compliance with legal and social norms,
• building genuine relationships between migrants and local neighborhood communities,
• conducting social awareness and anti-bias education among local residents,
• strengthening the intercultural competencies of front-line staff working with migrants.

Target Groups

The project covers a broad spectrum of participants, directly addressing the needs of both third-country nationals and the host community:

Key Activities

• Polish language courses — at multiple proficiency levels for adults and children.
• Legal & administrative counseling — individual consultations on Polish administrative procedures and labor laws.
• Civic education — campaigns and educational materials promoting mutual understanding.

• Intercultural community initiatives — neighborhood clubs, creative workshops, and social gatherings.
• Capacity building for staff & NGOs — professional training on serving foreign clients.

Expected Results

• Enhanced Polish language fluency among participants,
• Increased legal and administrative literacy for foreign residents,
• Higher engagement of newcomers in local cultural and neighborhood life,
• Improved employment situations aligned with participants' actual qualifications,
• Greater openness and acceptance of integration processes in the host community,
• Measurable reduction in discriminatory attitudes and xenophobia,
