CIC organizes free of charge Polish language trainings on different levels, including technical Polish for adults and language courses for children. Additionally, the offer of the Centre includes adaptation courses which aim at familiarizing as wide group of foreigners as possible, especially newly arrived migrants, with their basic rights and duties, system of integration in Poland, as well as services, institutions and other organizations which can be helpful for them. Foreigners reporting to the CIC can benefit from the assistance of a legal advisor, psychologist, career counselor and translator.

We also plan to organize trainings for representatives of other institutions working with foreigners in the future. As part of the Center's activities, we plan to organize conferences, events, and other activities that will familiarize the local community with the culture and customs of the representatives of non-EU countries living in Opole voivodeship.

The Center for Integration of Foreigners is open to cooperation with other institutions, organizations and universities involved in supporting foreigners.
Until the end of 2022, it is financed by the project entitled: "Building structures for the integration of foreigners in Poland - stage II - piloting of Alien Integration Centers", envisaged to be implemented within the framework of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (FAMI) implemented by the Ministry of Family and Social Policy. Its activities are expected to continue in the following years.
