The project contributed to raise awareness on decent work among Ukrainian refugees based on Norwegian practices
The overall objective of the project was to enhance decent work for Ukrainian refugees in the Polish labour market, building on Norwegian best practice and on the outcome of the first SIDA-project on decent work for migrant workers. The project both aimed at raising the awareness of refugees of their rights but also the risks of work-related crime, and to train them on decent work issues. In parallel, the project raised the capacity of social partners to deal with the flow of Ukrainian refugees, mainly women, into the labour market, by exchanging best practice with the Norwegian project partner LO and in close cooperation with a Polish NGO. The third axe of the project was direct legal support and advise given to refugees by two advisors, in addition to developed information material and training offered to refugees.
This project built on the ongoing project SIDA which aimed at enhancing decent work for migrant workers, while the second phase primarily focused on Ukrainian refugees, which was in line with the restricted call under the SDDW for Poland which encouraged projects facilitating the integration of Ukrainians into the labour market.
The following activities were carried out:
- Communication and awareness-raising campaign, including a brochure, videos, two online dissemination seminars, campaign in social media, and billboard campaign
- Capacity-building of trade unions to guarantee decent working conditions for Ukrainian refugees, including online seminar, analysis, working session on good practices, workshops on migration issues.
- Direct support for Ukrainian refugees, including two advisers and online training tool.
