Training of Trainers in Warsaw Strengthens Support for Ukrainian Refugees 

On 10–12 March 2026, the Microfinance Centre hosted a Training of Trainers (ToT) in Warsaw, bringing together 10 organizations from across Poland working with Ukrainian refugees. 

The training was organized as part of the Opportunity project which aims to support the economic and social wellbeing of Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Germany by strengthening advisory services and promoting self-employment and social innovation.  

Over three days, participants engaged in interactive sessions, exchanged experiences, and built practical skills to better support refugees navigating employment and entrepreneurship pathways. The ToT also created a valuable space for networking and peer learning among organizations working on the ground. 

With around one million Ukrainians currently living in Poland and increasing focus on long-term integration, strengthening local support systems and advisory capacities remains essential.  

The training marks an important step in building a community of practitioners equipped to deliver tailored support and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable integration solutions.
