New beginnings in Wrocław: The refugee students building brighter futures
Eighteen-year-old Daria hopes to begin studying psychology at the university in Wroclaw, Poland in the autumn. She already knows what career she wants to pursue: working with formerly incarcerated individuals to support their reintegration into society.
“I want to help people start a new life after having made mistakes,” Daria says. “I believe everyone deserves a chance to change, and I want to support them.” Three years ago, it wasn’t clear that Daria would be able to study psychology at all – or even graduate from secondary school. In early 2022, with the escalation of the war in Ukraine, she was forced to leave her home of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine for Wroclaw, together with her mother and younger brother.
Daria was one of hundreds of Ukrainians who ended up at the same high school in Wroclaw. Wrocław’s multicultural identity has long been a source of pride, and the school is no different: out of its 1,500 students, 500 are from Ukraine. There are also students from Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kenya, among other countries.
Still, the transition to life in a different country, while being separated from loved ones who remained in Ukraine, was not easy. In the first few months, Daria herself needed psychological support.
Eighteen-year-old Daria hopes to study psychology at university. If that doesn’t work out, she is also considering game design as a backup plan, inspired by her strong interest in video games.

Fortunately, she found support from the educators and staff at her school. This included the school psychologist, who is Polish but speaks Ukrainian. Her teachers also helped. “They genuinely do everything they can to help us adapt,” Daria says.
“They show us that they are learning together with us – they’re not pretending to know everything. They make mistakes too, they apologize, and everything feels very natural and supportive.”
For 18-year-old Kamila, who graduated from the same high school this year, the language barrier was the greatest challenge. “You don’t immediately understand what the teachers are saying, and you have to ask several times,” she says. “They couldn’t really explain either, because they didn’t speak Ukrainian. That was very hard for me.”
Kamila recalls that during her first months at the new secondary school, she had little time for her hobbies – she spent nearly all her free time learning Polish and keeping up with school assignments. Kamila recalls that during her first months at the new secondary school, she had little time for her hobbies – she spent nearly all her free time learning Polish and keeping up with school assignments.
Subjects like physics and biology were especially difficult because of the complex technical vocabulary. “I had to learn every term from scratch,” says Kamila, who came from IvanoFrankivsk, western Ukraine, with her family in 2022.
Learning Polish wasn’t only key to succeeding in school, but to feeling connected. “Only after I overcame the language barrier I did start participating in extracurricular activities at school,” Kamila explains. “It was important for me to build friendships with Polish students too.”
Despite these difficulties, Kamila now dreams of becoming a translator and is currently learning English and German in addition to Polish.
Seventeen-year-old Sofia, another graduate of the high school, shares this love of language. She studies English, Polish and German. “Aside from languages, I also love history,” she says.
Seventeen-year-old Sofia, who graduated this year from a secondary school in Wrocław, dreams of a career as a translator. She has applied to several universities in Wrocław to pursue her studies.

Sofia’s passion for history deepened her connection to Wrocław, one of Poland’s oldest and most culturally rich cities. “I really like Wrocław, and right now I think that if my future is in Poland, it will be in this city,” she says.
Like many of her peers, Sofia’s first steps in a new country were filled with fear and uncertainty.
“At the beginning, it was a bit scary – a different country, a different culture, a different language,” she recalls. “But there were actually many kind people who were ready to help. Thanks to them, I managed to adapt, and now I feel quite good living here.”
As well as graduating with honors from her school in Ukraine, in Wroclaw, Sofia received the red stripe distinction, a special recognition for outstanding academic results in Polish schools. She also earned a scholarship for being the top-performing student in the school last year.

Her family has recently decided to stay in Poland.

These stories are a powerful reminder of the resilience and potential of young people when they are given the right opportunities and support.
As we mark International Youth Day, UNICEF celebrates youth like Daria, Kamila and Sofia – who, despite the trauma of war and displacement, are building their futures through education, courage, and determination.
UNICEF, in partnership with local governments and civil society, remains committed to ensuring that every young person has access to quality education and support, no matter their background or circumstances.
This work for refugee children and caregivers from Ukraine in Poland is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the US Department of State (PRM) and the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of Japan.

The sentence "Their family plans to stay in Poland, as Sofia sees her future in this country" contains multiple pronominal forms that require grammatical analysis. Each pronoun performs specific syntactic and semantic functions within the sentence structure.
Examine the morphosyntactic functions and referential properties of the pronouns in this construction. Which alternative accurately characterizes the grammatical architecture?
Consider the following sentence:
“It was John who suggested changing the curriculum.”
Which option BEST explains the function of the cleft construction in terms of word order and focus?
Consider the sentences below:
The committee rejected the proposal after a long discussion.
The proposal, after a long discussion, was rejected.
After a long discussion, the proposal faced rejection.
Analyze the three statements considering voice, syntactic structure, systemic-functional grammar (theme/rheme), and changes in informational focus. Mark the correct alternative:
Nominal sentences present a relatively simple grammatical structure and fulfill their function in a direct way. Verbal sentences, on the other hand, due to the presence of lexical elements and more complex relations, have a more elaborate structure. Analyze the two examples below and mark the correct option:
“The little girl quickly opened the red box in the kitchen.”
“Absolute silence in the library.”
SPRATT, M.; PULVERNESS A.; WILLIAMS, M. The TKT – Teaching Knowledge Test Course. Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, 2005.
Based on the concept of grammar, choose the INCORRECT sentence.
I. Fronting negative adverbials like "Under no circumstances" or "Seldom" requires subject-auxiliary inversion (e.g., "should you go").
II. Adverbials of frequency always trigger inversion when placed at the beginning of the sentence (e.g., "Sometimes go I").
III. "Little did he know" is a fixed phrase exemplifying negative inversion used for dramatic or emphatic effect.
Select the correct analysis:
(__) The relative pronoun "which" refers to the entire preceding clause (the fact that rain caused a flood).
(__) It can be inferred that the bridge was destroyed directly by the rain drops, not by the resulting flood.
(__) This structure is an example of a sentential relative clause, providing a comment on the whole situation.
(__) The pronoun "which" could be grammatically replaced by "that" in this specific non-restrictive context.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
I. In the phrase "The person responsible for the damage," the adjective must follow the noun because it is post-modified by a prepositional phrase.
II. "Between you and I" is the prescriptively correct form for the object of a preposition in standard English grammar.
III. Adjectives ending in -ble or -ible often follow the noun when the noun is modified by a superlative (e.g., "the best hotel available").
Select the correct analysis:
I. "Look forward to" é um verbo phrasal-prepositional de três partes e é inseparável, de modo que o objeto deve ocorrer após a cadeia de partículas.
II. No phrasal verb "turn on" (transitivo e separável), quando o objeto é um pronome (por exemplo, it), ele deve ser colocado entre o verbo e a partícula.
III. Prepositional verbs como "rely on" permitem que o objeto seja colocado antes da preposição (por exemplo, rely it on) para dar ênfase.
