Foundation Ukraine was established on April 23, 2013, at the initiative of the Honorary Consul of Ukraine, Grzegorz Dzik, with the aim of supporting the adaptation, integration, personal, and professional development of migrants. Initially, the organization assisted mainly migrants of Ukrainian origin, but in 2016, it opened its doors to other foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first project undertaken by the Foundation was in 2014, and at present, it boasts more than 60 successfully realized initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2016, as a show of support for the commendable initiatives, the city of Wroc\u0142aw provided Foundation Ukraine with premises at 46A Ruska Street, which were renovated with the support of the Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Wroc\u0142aw.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In response to the migrants\u2019 needs, Foundation Ukraine established the Ukrainian Center of Culture and Development (CUKR) in this place. Its official opening took place on November 18, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUKR swiftly evolved into a vibrant cultural center, warmly embraced by the people of Wroc\u0142aw, where it hosted exclusive film screenings and enchanting poetic-musical events. Now CUKR is the largest and most recognizable Foundation Ukraine\u2019s brand. Moreover, it serves as the venue for most of the integration, educational, cultural, and adaptive events organized within the framework of Foundation Ukraine\u2019s projects. In 2017, CUKR’s activities were expanded to include the Information Point for Migrants called InfoCUKR.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing the increasing number of migrants in the local community and identifying their needs, Foundation Ukraine took action by founding the Institute of Migrants\u2019 Rights (IPM), located at 46a\/202 Ruska Street in Wroc\u0142aw. By a resolution dated December 22, 2020, IPM continues the development of the InfoPoint for Migrants , known as InfoCUKR, which has been in operation since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, Foundation Ukraine has been fully involved in humanitarian assistance actions. We initiated the SAVE UKRAINE<\/strong> campaign, which is a set of activities and mechanisms aimed at helping Ukraine, including those who stayed in the country and refugees forced to flee the war to Lower Silesia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
