Abstract
This research project focuses on individuals living in Poland as immigrants. These immigrants have faced various challenges in their countries of origin, such as gender discrimination, war, insecurity, violence, and inequality in educational and job opportunities. They have chosen to migrate in the hope of achieving a more comfortable and peaceful life in safety and stability.
However, during their residency process, they encounter numerous challenges, including discrimination, being ignored or rejected in educational and work environments, lengthy residency procedures, lack of access to job opportunities, and language barriers. All these factors make their integration into the new society difficult. Additionally, many immigrants struggle with issues such as isolation, loss of self-confidence, and in some cases, depression.
The aim of this research project is to engage with immigrants from various backgrounds and lifestyles who are living in Poland. This engagement will take place through face-to-face and online interviews conducted via social media. Based on their experiences, the goal is to propose strategies and opportunities to improve their quality of life and facilitate their integration into Polish society.
