Ukrainian adolescents who have found themselves in Poland due to the war face a range of daily challenges \u2014 from emotional adaptation and education in a new environment to seeking support in a society that often feels unfamiliar and difficult to navigate. For support to be effective, it is crucial not to impose ready-made solutions \u201cfrom above\u201d but to listen to the adolescents themselves, their parents, and the professionals who work alongside them. That is why, in this project, we apply the Human-Centered Design approach, which makes it possible to create support tools in close cooperation with those for whom they are intended, ensuring they are as sensitive as possible to the real needs of children and young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project goal:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to build a deep and empathetic understanding of the needs and challenges faced by Ukrainian adolescents who have been displaced to Poland by the war, and to turn this knowledge into practical support tools for professionals working with children and youth. Using the Human-Centered Design approach, we seek not only to explore the experiences of children, their parents, and specialists but also to translate these insights into a tailored training program. This program will help professionals provide adolescents with not formal but genuinely sensitive and adequate support \u2014 taking into account their emotional state, cultural background, and everyday challenges. The final stage of the project will be a series of practical trainings in different cities across Poland, enabling around 200 specialists to gain new knowledge and apply it in their daily work with young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
