Project "Open Malopolska" - activities aimed at supporting the integration of third country nationals.
The Malopolska Provincial in Krakow carries out the project “Open Malopolska”, which includes comprehensive, effective and quick implementation of tasks in the field of integration of third-country nationals (TCN) with particular focus on Ukrainian citizens who entered Poland after 24th February 2022 to meet their needs and support them. The project is ongoing until the end of September 2023 under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) in partnership with the Malopolska Voivodeship. As part of the project, we run Information and Advisory Points (PiD), which are integrated with the Hotline and INFO.OPT Information.
