The aim of the project "Activating Change: Strengthening the Civic Engagement of Ukrainian Refugee and Internally Displaced Youth in Poland and Ukraine" is to examine the dynamics of civic engagement of Ukrainian youth affected by migration in Poland and internal displacement in Ukraine. The researchers will focus on people aged 15-18. They will analyze their participation in school life, local communities and society at large, trying to understand how young people cope with difficulties, how they interact with social structures and how they use opportunities to engage in civic and community activities. The research (in-depth interviews, focus groups) will be carried out in four locations in Poland (Warsaw, Siedlce, Rzeszów and Tarnobrzeg) and Ukraine (Lviv, Truskavets, Uzhhorod and Mukachevo).
