The main focus of this project is to highlight those efforts aimed at the consolidation of Ukrainian society during the war, including interregional cooperation, overcoming barriers, as well as the manifestation of humanistic values in difficult and extreme conditions of war.
The main activities of the project are the following:
1. The collection of audio recordings of displaced and refugee narratives, and the creation of a podcast channel covering these stories, to demonstrate interregional consolidation.
2. The collection, classification and analysis of materials (video, publications in the first-person perspective, etc.) on topics demonstrating adherence to European humanistic values (treatment of prisoners, facts of mutual support, changes in attitude to pets in wartime, etc.). This collection will include materials such as facts, videos, and discussions among influencers and key opinion leaders.
3. Collection of oral histories and analysis of materials (videos, first-person publications, etc.) with the goal of disrupting Russian disinformation through deconstruction of propaganda tactics and effective counter-arguments.
4. Dissemination of collected materials.
All these materials not only have a theoretical value but also serve a practical purpose. Working with these materials is important and will be used both during and after the active phase of the war to overcome the consequences of the war at the human level and with regards to social communication.
