Materials

In December 2022 we conducted 100 interviews with Ukrainian refugees in Poznan. We tried to understand their needs and interests. The results of these interviews were compiled into the analytical report which you can find below.

 

Starting from 2018, together with our partners we are running international movement devoted to critical thinking – Skepsis. We implemented many projects on topics of critical thinking and media literacy within the framework of the movement. At these projects, a lot of educational materials on critical thinking and media literacy were created by participants. Below you can find Google Drive with everything created under the Skepsis movement – videos, posters, workshops, infographics, games and much more. Feel free to use any of it.

Media Maze: Navigating Together – Escape Box Handbooks

This project is funded by the Erasmus+ programme.

And if you need help, we are ready to support you. Just write to us at [email protected].

Since 2017 Logos has been developing the idea of using escape rooms for education. Escape rooms are usually used for fun and

entertainment, but we decided that they can be an interesting tool when speaking about important and serious topics such as human rights. We implemented several training courses since then and taught around 200 youth workers on how to build their own escape rooms for education.

Below you can find toolboxes, that were made for various projects. Each toolbox contains a scenario of the escape room, a plan of the room, a description of the puzzles as well as pictures of the room. If needed anyone can use these toolboxes to build similar rooms anywhere. And if you need help, we are ready to support you. Just write to us at [email protected].

In 2021 we held a training course “Escape to Diversity” supported by the Visegrad Fund where we created a short guide on how to build educational escape rooms. Check it below to understand how you start making an educational escape room, how you choose a room, make puzzles and design interesting story. This guide also contains links to video tutorials that we made to help youth workers build their educational escape rooms.

 

 

 

 

 

This guide was developed after the training course “Solidarity Powerr” which was implemented by  AFR and Logos in November 2022 with the support of Erasmus+ programme. In this guide, you can find information about Solidarity Projects, project management tools and coaching. We used the knowledge and experience gained at the training course to develop this guide.

This guide will be useful for NGOs, volunteers, youth workers and young people who want to develop their own Solidarity Project or support young people in its implementation. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions at [email protected]

 

This guide was developed after the training course “Grow, improve, volunteer” which was implemented by Logos in November 2022 with the support of Action Aid. In this guide, you can find information on how to use do-no-harm principles, how to provide first aid, deal with conflicts and much more. We used the knowledge and experience gained at the training course to develop this guide.

This guide will be useful for NGOs, volunteers, youth workers and anyone who wants to help refugees as a volunteer. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions at [email protected]

 

At Logos we are always looking for new ways of education young people on various topics. One of the approaches that we have used several times – Live action role-playing games or shortly LARP game. In LARP game each of the players gets a role, the specific setting, rules, background and goals are created. It is possible to include educational pieces in LARP games. In Nordic countries, LARP is being used for various purposes. We decided to use this method to educate young people about human rights. At several training courses we provided youth workers with information on how to make this kind of games and as a result, we now have toolboxes, which contain all necessary information needed to make educational LARP games on various topics.

2. Toolbox from the Get your horizons expanded project

Starting from 2020 Logos, together with partners from Romania (Un strop de fericire), Sweden (Awesome people) and Portugal (Asociaciao Animam Viventem) developed a “Secret Code for Active Citizenship” Strategic Partnership project. We wanted youth to become the next “change makers” of their local/global communities, meaning active citizens that have, not only, the skills and capacity to engage, as well as a sense of self-worth, purpose, awareness and social responsibility, creating a European Network. Together with youth workers aware and skilful for addressing youth needs and partners empowered with a cross-sectorial knowledge and a European strong network. Within the project we developed tools that can be used by Youth workers:

• Portable escape room toolkits– Instructions on how to build, lead and disseminate portable Escape Rooms on the Topic of Active Citizenship
• Change Makers Academy Program– This program aims not only at providing means and resources to get young people involved. It also aims at offering an accessible approach to the rather abstract and complex notion of Active Citizenship and what it takes to be active citizens. Consequently, before getting down to business, it is very important to better understand what is the meaning of Active Citizenship, what set of skills it requires and what can we consider to be active citizenship actions.
• Escape Rooms tutorial videos– Video tutorials explaining the rules and settings of building an Escape Room.
• Map platform– an interactive platform, where anyone with a good social idea can share it and anyone who would like to join, crowdfund or even spread can easily do it.

In 2020 Logos, together with our partner – CEFIG implemented training course about social entrepreneurship. During this project we attended various social enterprises in Poznan and learned about how to make similar ones. As a result of the project a toolbox with business ideas was created. Feel free to use it!

 

 

 

 

Starting from 2020 Logos together with partners from Czech Republic (CEFIG), Spain (EUducate) and Denmark (Soholm 4H) we developed an “Entertaining Education” Strategic Partnership project in the youth field focused on transferring entrepreneurial skills and the dedication to creating social impact amongst young people. Within the project we developed tools that can be used by Youth workers:

• Social Entrepreneurship Simulation game– 1,5h long game in which you will have a chance to run a social enterprise.
• Escape Room Toolbox– Instructions on how to build an Escape Room on the Topic of Social Entrepreneurship.
• Escape Rooms Guide– Guide explaining the rules and settings of building an Escape Room.

The guide advises promoting environmentally friendly practices during similar activities and suggestions for activities and exercises.

You can find here best practices for the inclusion and integration of refugees through outdoor and ecological methods which can help improve the quality and accessibility of outdoor programs, and lead to better outcomes for the participants and a more inclusive and diverse outdoor education sector.

 

This guide was developed during the project “Empowering Growth” which was implemented by Logos and our partner organisation Náš tábor in Czech. This guide collects good practices for the inclusion and integration of young people with fewer opportunities and refugees through outdoor methods. It also includes advice on promoting environmentally friendly practices during similar activities and propositions on activities and exercises. This guide will be useful for NGOs, outdoor educators and instructors, youth workers and anyone who wants to help refugees as a volunteer. Here you can find english and polish version of the guide.

Pathways to Belonging: Standing With Young Ukrainians Across Europe 

 

Coordinated by the National Foundation for Youth in Romania, “Pathways to Belonging” brings together a strong European partnership, Collectif pour un Service Civique Européen in France, Stowarzyszenie Projektów Międzynarodowych LOGOS Polska in Poland, and the Kharkiv Non-Governmental Association for Active Youth STELLA in Ukraine. The partners share a single aim, to create a sustainable, structured framework of support for young people affected by the war in Ukraine, with real openings for integration, personal development and civic participation. Over its 24 months, the project works to build community resilience and to nurture intercultural dialogue and cooperation locally and across Europe. 

The partnership was set in motion at a kick-off meeting in Bucharest, where the partners turned intention into operation, setting strategic priorities, clarifying responsibilities and agreeing on objectives, activities, timelines, the management structure and the indicators that will measure impact. Enthusiasm, professionalism and a shared sense of responsibility ran through the discussions, as every partner contributed its own knowledge to a strategy grounded in the actual needs of young refugees, renewing a collective conviction that solidarity has to translate into concrete, measurable, lasting action. 

Volunteers are central to the project. Across the network of youth centres, local and international volunteers help run language-learning sessions, cultural-integration activities, mentoring programmes and community events. Through non-formal education and intercultural learning, the project opens safe spaces for dialogue, understanding and empowerment, easing isolation, developing skills and improving young refugees’ access to education and work. The volunteers, in turn, gain meaningful personal and professional skills and strengthen their role as agents of positive social change. 

All told, the project plans to reach more than 600 young Ukrainian refugees directly via structured learning, mentoring and civic engagement, and many more through awareness-raising, dissemination and public outreach. By drawing on local and international volunteers alike, “Pathways to Belonging” supports social cohesion and advances the European values of solidarity, dignity, equality and mutual respect. 

For LOGOS, taking part in this initiative means contributing to durable European cooperation and to the belief that young people can rebuild their futures and enrich their communities. 

 

As the project’s Polish partner, LOGOS presents “Pathways to Belonging”, a European initiative supporting young people affected by the war in Ukraine.

“Pathways to Belonging” (EU-UKR-PB), project number 101239630, is funded by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps, under the Key Action “Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas” (ESC-SOLID-2025-VTHPA). The 24-month project is coordinated by the National Foundation for Youth (Romania), in partnership with Collectif pour un Service Civique Européen (France), Stowarzyszenie Projektów Międzynarodowych LOGOS Polska (Poland) and the Kharkiv Non-Governmental Association for Active Youth STELLA (Ukraine). It aims to support the social inclusion, civic participation and personal and professional development of young Ukrainian refugees, drawing on a safe-spaces methodology delivered through the network of youth centres coordinated by the National Foundation for Youth. 

Pathways to Belonging: Standing With Young Ukrainians Across Europe 

On 17 April, the “Pathways to Belonging” project (EU-UKR-PB) opened its consultation programme with a first session dedicated to young Ukrainian refugees. The format was anything but a standard questionnaire, it followed the Public Café method, an informal, café-style gathering in which participants are encouraged to talk openly, without worrying about getting things “right”. 

This was a considered choice, for young people who have spent more than two years caught between two worlds, the home they left behind and the new life they are still assembling, a warm, safe space is what turns a formality into a real conversation. The whole project is built on that idea. 

 

Why young people lead the conversation 

The starting point of “Pathways to Belonging” is simple, young Ukrainians themselves know best what they need. The project therefore commits to designing its programme around participants’ real needs and refining it as they speak about their own lives. Consultations are what make this possible, turning the people a project serves into co-creators of the activities meant for them. 

There is something deeper here, too. Moving from being helped to being genuinely listened to restores a sense of agency, dignity and belonging, the very things that being uprooted tends to strip away. 

 

The six themes 

The session was built around six themes, each introduced with questions designed to invite honest reflection rather than scripted replies. 

Social integration and language barriers, the opening theme examined where young people feel like outsiders and the ordinary, daily moments when language gets in the way. Participants talked about what truly motivates them to learn the language, necessity or curiosity, whether they find it easier to connect with locals or within the Ukrainian community, and which formats and activities would draw them back regularly and help them speak more freely. 

Mental health and well-being, handled with sensitivity, this theme opened space for harder truths, the points at which they feel most drained, how their emotions have shifted since relocating, and what keeps them going on the toughest days. They also discussed what holds them back from seeking professional support, the effect of daily news from Ukraine on their mood, and the kind of place or activity that could serve as a true “reset”. 

Education and professional development, young people reflected on which parts of their earlier experience and skills no longer apply here, the steps they have already taken to build a future, and what they still need in order to feel confident in the job search. The recognition of qualifications came up repeatedly, as did thoughts on what a learning experience that delivers a genuine sense of progress would involve. 

Cultural identity and intercultural exchange, the conversation here centred on what it means to stay Ukrainian far from home, the traditions they would most regret losing and the little things that bring home to mind. Participants pictured how they might share their culture with others and which kinds of events would prompt them to get actively involved. 

Civic participation and rights, this theme uncovered the moments they felt unsure of “how things work here”, the openings missed for lack of information, and what an active role in the community means to them in practical terms. They considered how far they feel part of local life, when they last felt truly heard, and the ways they would most like to help drive change. 

Future and reintegration, the final theme looked forward, what stability means to them now, which factors weigh most on their decisions, where they see greater opportunity, and the support that would help them meet the future with confidence. They were also asked what wisdom they would pass on to other Ukrainians in the same situation. 

 

How the consultation shapes the project 

None of this stays on the page, the conclusions feed directly into the project’s needs assessment and into the way its activities are continually shaped, from language sessions and cultural exchanges to learning and well-being programmes. In short, what was voiced on 17 April will show up in the meetings, workshops and events to come. 

This first meeting launches a series of consultations that will continue throughout the project and involve many young Ukrainians directly. Each one keeps the programme participatory and adaptable, ready to respond as participants’ circumstances evolve. 

Above all, the session reaffirmed the belief at the project’s foundation, belonging is built not for young people but alongside them. A Public Café in which someone finally feels heard can be the first step toward exactly that. 

 

Volunteers supported by LOGOS take part in the work of “Pathways to Belonging”, including consultations such as this one. As a project partner, LOGOS is proud to share this first step and the conversations it has set in motion.
