Mission & Goals
The Ukrainian Civil Society Hub began its activities in 2022 after the European Parliament provided premises to support the Ukrainian community following the full-scale invasion. Its primary goal is to unite the civil sector, diaspora, media, experts, the Ukrainian government, and EU institutions to accelerate Ukraine's victory against the Russian aggressor and support its EU integration path. Tasks: 1. Drawing attention to the situation in Ukraine - Coverage of Russia's war against Ukraine and the scale of suffering and destruction caused by the Russian Federation - Providing information about the needs of Ukraine 2. Drawing attention to Ukrainian culture - Holding events with Ukrainian artists - Support of Ukrainian artists who are in Ukraine and under temporary protection in the EU 3. Assistance to Ukrainians in Ukraine and outside the borders of our country - Conducting information sessions for temporarily displaced persons

Organisation Members
Ukrainian Civil Society Hub serves as a platform for cooperation with and between NGOs which support Ukraine, media, Ukrainian officials and Ukrainian diaspora. These include: 1. Entities that are based in Ukraine and bring their projects from Ukraine to demonstrate them to the public in the EU institutions (NGOs and artists need assistance in approaching local public, organizational support etc).
