Between March and June 2022, we ran common room points offering classes for children and support for parents from refugee families. The so-called “Popołudniki” (“Afternoons”) were organised in collaboration with two foundations: Przymierze Rodzin and Maria Montessori. Supervised by psychologists and supported by volunteers, the classes were held every day. Over 200 people – mothers with children aged 6-14 – benefited from the classes offered in four schools in Warsaw.
