From 4.08 to 11.08, we hosted psychologists from Ukraine, more precisely from the Poltava region, in Warsaw. The psychologists are participating in the project "Poland - Ukraine - Together for Well-being", which we are implementing together with the Stand with Ukraine Foundation as part of the RITA - Transformations in the Region program.

During the week in Warsaw, our participants took part in several training courses and workshops on the mental health care system in Poland; how to work with young people with war experience; how to take care of your own mental well-being. In addition to the training courses, we also held several important meetings, including at the Ministry of National Education with Minister Joanna Mucha and Minister Izabela Zietka, and in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland with MP Dorota Łoboda.

As part of taking care of our own mental well-being and moving our participants' thoughts away from the ongoing war in Ukraine, we organized a trip around Warsaw, including: to the Royal Castle, the Royal Łazienki, the National Museum and the Palace of Culture and Science.

The psychologists have already returned to their schools, where they will now be tasked with organizing educational workshops and meetings during which they will pass on the knowledge they gained in Warsaw.

The project is co-financed by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation as part of the RITA program – Regional Transformations, implemented by the Education for Democracy Foundation.
