UK and Ukraine universities come together to spread message of hope and solidarity

To coincide with the Universities UK (UUK) annual conference on Thursday 8^th September we will be launching our #TwinforHope campaign. As part of the campaign, a video which features staff from Ukrainian universities will be live streamed for the first time on our UUK twitter account to over 100,000 people. 

The video showcases some of the powerful stories of dedicated Ukrainian university staff and explores the positive impact of the partnerships between UK and Ukrainian universities.

Serhiy Shkarlet, the Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine, will also address the audience at the conference after the live streaming of the #TwinforHope video.

UUK have partnered up with Cormack Consultancy Group to provide support to students and staff impacted by the invasion in the form of twinning partnerships between UK and Ukrainian universities. These ‘twins’ provide practical, emotional and long-term support. From rebuilding campuses and sharing academic resources to welcoming Ukrainian staff and students to the UK to allow teaching and learning to continue, these incredible partnerships are already delivering invaluable impact.
