Workbook
For Eastern European Immigrant Families in the UK
The Move, the Language, the Identity — and the Family Left Behind
We moved. We built something here. We had never written down what it was.
For Eastern European immigrant families in Britain — Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, and others — working through migration, language loss, post-Brexit belonging, and what to pass to the next generation.
The Name It First Experience
Your family moved to Britain for work, opportunity, or something hard to name in one sentence. You are building something here — and you probably navigate what that means every day without writing it down. This workbook gives your family a structured space to name what your specific national identity and family story mean in Britain now. You inventory what you carried. You map the language and belonging patterns. You confront what assimilation has cost. You sign your Eastern European Family Record together. The output is not a history. It is a document of who this family is now.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What did your family carry from the move — and what has it built here that deserves to be named?
- What does your national identity mean in your household — not as explanation to others, but as something you live?
- What do you want the next generation to know about where your family came from and what it cost to get here?
