Summary of the results
The initiative included a 10-day workshop aimed at shaping and improving the competencies of Ukrainian participants in the project - mothers with children. They were residents of Malopolska and Podkarpacie, the vast majority were economically and socially disadvantaged. In addition, there were 2 people with disabilities in the group. The objectives were fully realized, the project found time for acquiring knowledge and skills and a moment of relaxation and rest. The project was characterized by a high level of commitment on the part of participants, staff involved in the project and experts invited to participate in the project. The evaluation questionnaires collected from the participants emphasized the good atmosphere in the group, the high level of the experts and their transfer of practical knowledge, the acquisition of information needed for daily functioning in social and professional life, and the acquisition of skills for dealing with trauma (workshops with a psychotherapist). The workshops were also an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences among the participants themselves - this was facilitated by evening meetings around the campfire and joint walks. Activities for children were of an integrative and educational nature. Activities for children were carried out in two age groups of 3-6 and 6-10 years. The activities were art, language, music and sports.
