In recognition of our efforts, our initiatives have been recognised in the 2024 Civil Society Gala, where we was awarded Third Prize in the section „Defence of individual/collective rights” for the project „Beyond Borders - A joint effort for Ukrainian refugees through the implementation of international practices”. This award encourages us to continue to support affected communities and to engage in initiatives that promote solidarity and co-operation. We remain committed to building bridges and providing real support to those in need. Over these three years, supporting Ukrainian refugees has once again shown us the importance of solidarity and co-operation. Our efforts have been guided by a desire to respond to the real needs of those affected by the conflict, but also to continuously learn and adapt in order to be able to provide more effective support. We thank all our partners and collaborators for their commitment and joint efforts. We continue to stand by those in need of support and to build together a future based on solidarity, respect and inclusion.
