Austaush at the “Mutual Learning Event for Beneficiaries: Driving Innovation to Address the Societal Consequences of Russia’s War of Aggression Against Ukraine in the EU Countries” in Warsaw

On May 13–14, we joined a crucial European gathering that brought together organizations from across the EU to explore how to effectively respond to the social challenges caused by Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The event is organized by the European Competence Centre for Social Innovation (ECCSI) as part of the ESF+ programme, which supports initiatives focused on integration, sustainable development, and innovative solutions for assisting refugees and those affected by the war.

Irina Bukharkina and Diana Van Imschoot represent Austaush at the event. They are presenting our work, joining discussions and learning sessions, and participating in the Project Fair — a dynamic space for showcasing initiatives, sharing challenges, and building new partnerships.

🔹 We are listening and sharing — on how to adapt social services to new realities.
🔹 We are among those seeking solutions — to better support Ukrainians across Europe.
🔹 We are where Ukraine’s voice is heard — and we help make it matter.

This gathering is a space of solidarity, collaboration, and action. We are grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to be part of a European community that supports Ukraine — not just in words, but through concrete steps. #ESFplus #SocialInnovationPlus
