Abstract: The scale of current migrations in Europe is comparable to that which took place after the end of World War II. Their consequences will probably determine the direction of demographic trends on the continent for the coming decades. Ukrainian forced migrants have been present in many European countries since February 2022 in local labor markets and neighborhood communities. The Ukrainian diaspora is numerically dominated by women and children, which creates unique specificity to their needs. One of them is the children's participation in the mainstream education system in the host countries. This is the background for analyzing the transition from the solidarity theory to everyday practices. The presentation will show the situation of Ukrainian children and youth in the Polish education, psychiatric and psychological care systems, as well as challenges for schools, mental health institutions, and migrants themselves (children and adults).
