We will introduce a system of integration endorsement for refugees at universities that was developed at Kariérní centrum at Masaryk University. At large we will analyse psychosocial support of the students connected to the process of adapting new work and study conditions. We will work with arteterapeutical techniques for emotional exhaustion prevention of refugees. These techniques are suitable for individual as well as group work with clients who need to rebuild their resources or get to know themselves.
