YRIC II - Supporting the work of Youth & Refugee Integration Center / November- December 2026
STOWARZYSZENIE EUROPE 4 YOUTH
Rabka-Zdrój, Poland
Description
In 2023, we launched the YRIC project, bringing together young people from Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Hungary, and France to renovate an old building in Rabka-Zdrój, Poland. This building has since been transformed into the Polish-Ukrainian Youth and Refugee Integration Center, named Kefirek. The Center has been operating successfully, and it was attended by Polish and Ukrainian young people alike. We unfortunately had to close in August 2026, but there was still a need of the local community for our activities to continue. We are now organizing workshops for young people in the park in our town of Rabka-Zdrój as well as in different youth centers in Kraków.
