LOOP Event — On the Way to the Future

🤝 An annual meeting for everyone who works with Ukrainians and for Ukrainians in temporary accommodation centers across the country. A full day to exchange experience, meet colleagues from other regions, and take away approaches you can apply right away in your own center.
