The summer workshops organized by the Wielkopolskie (Poznań) branch of the Polish Red Cross aimed at strengthening and developing creativity as part of the 'Summer with the Polish Red Cross' initiative aimed to provide care for children during their free time from school activities, as well as to create a safe and friendly space conducive to the integration of children from Poland and Ukraine. Special emphasis was placed on building relationships in a different setting other than school environment, which – unfortunately – all too often reinforces existing divisions.
