Abstract

The article considers the peculiarities of the activities of educational institutions in the camp of interned troops of the Ukrainian People’s Republic Kalisz (Poland) in 1921-1924. Thanks to the assistance of the headquarters of the group of internees, literacy schools were established for illiterate Cossacks; the camp Gymnasium named after T. Shevchenko, thanks to which a significant number of campers were able to prepare for or continue secondary education. To a large extent, the three-year work of the Gymnasium (1921-1923) became possible thanks to significant humanitarian aid, provided by the American Charitable Organization YMCA, the Ukrainian Central Committee, Ukrainian Central Committee and individual philanthropists. The knowledge acquired by the internees facilitated their further adaptation to the new conditions of emigrant existence already on a civilian basis in Po­land, as well as the process of their employment in other European countries.
