Thank you for joining us! See the event recordings on YouTube.

A 24-hour marathon event spotlighting Ukrainian resilience through scholarship, art, and activism one year since Russia’s invasion.

The program will include research presentations, cultural performances, conversations with civil society leaders, student panels, and more, with the overall intent of honoring and showcasing Ukraine’s resistance and resilience.

Throughout the event, audience members are encouraged to donate to the Kyiv School of Economics’ (KSE) humanitarian aid campaign for Ukraine, which provides food supplies, transportation, and other refugee assistance for Ukrainians affected by the war, and purchases necessary medicines, first aid and protective kits for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, Ukrainian Paramedic Association, and the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces to shield them against Russian aggression.
