For her project, “Volunteers and Non-profit Cooperation, the Czech Republic’s experience for Ukraine”, Nataliia will study the best practices in the Czech Republic and other countries for collecting and systematising data about volunteers and the organisations that engage them in order to inform state assistance programmes and better support the development of volunteer movements.

Iryna’s project, “Social Networks Will Remember This War”, is a collection of texts posted on social media after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
