Opole bets on Ukrainians. The city creates facilities for immigrants

Free Polish language courses, prayer points, the help department for migrants and a guide for young Ukrainians in Opole - these are initiatives that are created in the city. Arkadiusz Wiśniewski, the president of Opole, emphasizes that he would like to make the city more friendly to foreigners.

The office of Opole has never conducted a policy related to the arrival of Ukrainians into the city. The time has come for changes. Although the number of immigrants from Ukraine is growing from year to year, there is still a lack of cadres.

The number of foreigners who come to the region for work and study increases with each passing year.

According to Bożena Kaleczyńska, director of the department of civic affairs and foreigners in the voivodship office, in 2012, 300 work permits were issued to foreigners, and in 2018 - about 10,000. permits.

Opole is located 250 km from the border with Germany, so historically it happened that there is also a German minority in the region. Thanks to this, unlike other cities in Poland, Opole has developed the foundations of a multicultural policy and the possibility of adopting migration issues in the future.

- Honestly: we care about Ukrainians in Opole - said the city's president Arkadiusz Wiśniewski.

Dr Sabina Kubiciel-Lodzińska from the Faculty of Economics and Management at the Opole University of Technology carried out the study. The results indicate that 30 percent. Ukrainians working in Opole are going to stay here, while the remaining 30 percent. he does not know what to do next.

- I say openly: we care about Ukrainians in Opole. Our local labor market suffers from a shortage of employees, it can not be cured in any other way than by attracting outsiders. If we do not do it, it is obvious that the companies that are in Opole will go to job markets where this work force is - says the president of Opole Arkadiusz Wiśniewski, quoted by Gazeta Wyborcza.

Prayer point, free Polish language courses, department for migrants, in which Ukrainians will work.

President Opole met on the question of immigrants with Orthodox pop who offered to open a prayer point. The president supported this idea and even described the property that will be allocated for it. At the same time, free language courses and a dedicated migration department will be organized.

Arkadiusz Wiśniewski emphasizes that this department will be opened in the coming weeks. Ukrainians will work in it because they know what foreigners need. Also underlined was the readiness to launch a broader information and promotion campaign, supporting foreigners, all in order to best use the potential of migrants for the development of the city.

A guide to Opole for young Ukrainians.

Ukrainian students from the Building School Complex in Opole created a city guide for their peers from the eastern border. The idea of ​​the project was born during Polish language classes for foreigners. The teacher asked about the students' impressions from the arrival in Opole and the problems they face in a foreign environment. In response to this question, the idea of ​​the project "Opole for young foreigners - in practice" appeared. Its purpose is to collect the most important information for students coming from Ukraine in one place.

The group took part in the nationwide competition "Design with class" from the New Era and was selected from among 600 other ideas, receiving a grant for the project.

- We want to show our colleagues from Ukraine that Opole is a city of young, active people who want to live here and study - say the authors of the project.

The guide will appear in paper form and in the form of a website.

The first part is called - Jak żyć Opole . Here, Ukrainians will find basic information about the city.

The second part will be the largest - it's Opole for the Young , which consists of 10 departments (finance, hobby, education, nutrition, housing, post office, shopping, transport, work for the young, health care), where practical information will be collected.

Part three - Opole "richly" , in which the city will be presented to culture lovers. The official presentation of the textbook will take place on 17 June.
