Helping Ukraine: studying at Polish universities

Since the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow has been working to help the Ukrainian population move to Poland and continue their studies in a safe environment. On March 3, students of art academies from Kyiv, Lviv, Kherson, Kharkiv, as well as teachers and artists began to come to the Academy. The community of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow has opened its hearts, homes and workshops for refugees from Ukraine.

63 interns have already been trained at 7 faculties of the Academy (Faculty of Interior Design, Industrial Forms, Graphics, Interludes, Conservation and Restoration of Paintings and Sculptures), and 12 teachers have been invited to conduct classes. Interns have found a place in studios where they work with their teachers and integrate into the Academy community. This is a global phenomenon.


The Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow supported the statement of the Conference of Rectors of Polish Academic Schools, the Central Council of Science and Higher Education, the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Conference of Rectors of Universities and Vocational Schools and Organizations of Young Scientists, Doctoral Students and Students published on February 24, 2022 Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.
