The Report “Vidnova Storyline 2023–2024”

Two years into the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we already know that we have a long run ahead and that the Ukrainian civil society, in its pivotal role, needs international resources, attention, and support more than ever. This journal touches upon questions connected to Ukraine’s recovery that we find important to raise.

At the beginning of 2024, the Vidnova program consisted of two program lines: Vidnova Fellowship and Vidnova Lab. In our publication Vidnova Storyline, we detail how each program line came about, its impact on the fellows, and their project ideas. In addition, we shine a light on what we have learned as an organization and where we are headed.
