What does FAMI mean?
The purpose of the FAMI is to contribute to the effective management of migration flows and to strengthen the development of a common policy on asylum, subsidiary protection, temporary protection and a common immigration policy with full respect for the rights and principles set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
The target group of the FAMI (i.e. persons who can receive support as foreigners) are third-country nationals, i.e. non-member countries of the European Union, as well as stateless persons and persons with undefined citizenship.
The main purpose of the project.
On September 1, 2018, in the area of the West Pomeranian Province, the following project is started: "Comprehensive system of support in the field of adaptation and integration with the society of third-country nationals residing in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship". The project will last 24 months. The main purpose of the project is to provide integration services for third-country nationals in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. However, the specific purpose of the project is the Integration/Legal Migration in accordance with the National Programme.
The main activities of the project:
As part of the FAMI project, an information and advisory point for third-country nationals will be established in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office in Szczecin, where information on legalization of the residence of third-country nationals in Poland, the methods of legal employment, family benefits and social help benefits will be provided.
The point will be open from Monday to Friday during the opening hours of the office, while meeting the needs of foreigners residing in Poland. The point will be open until 18:00 every Monday.
In addition, Strategy for the integration of third-country nationals in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship will be developed as part of the FAMI project.
Caritas Polska with its registered office in Warsaw will be the partner of the project. The partner's activities will involve establishing the Help Centre for Migrants and Refugees, the purpose of which will be to create an information and advisory centre. In addition, there will be a common room at the registered office of the Centre, where, inter alia, compensatory and educational classes for children who require this form of support will be provided. The point will be open from Monday to Friday for 8 hours (the location will be specified at a later date after selecting the best offer of the premises).
At the same time, the project will enable the beneficiaries selected in the recruitment process to learn Polish language, which is necessary for educational and professional activity on the territory of the Republic of Poland. The course will be run by experienced Polish teachers.
Furthermore, during the project, Caritas Polska in cooperation with the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Office in Szczecin will organize two meetings with employers of migrants and employers' associations.
