The Ukrainian Integration Hub:
Accelerating European integration amidst war
Why is it needed?
In the face of ongoing full-scale military aggression against
Ukraine, the Ukrainian Integration Hub (UIH) project aims
to address the complex challenge of the displacement of
more than seven million Ukrainian refugees, most of whom
have found temporary respite in various European nations.
This project recognizes the duality of their plight – the
significant barriers to integration in their host nations and
the dwindling likelihood of their voluntary return due to the
persistent conflict.
Key components of the UIH project will include:
Integration and Empowerment Programs: These initiatives
will provide vocational training, language courses,
psychological support, and access to educational resources,
fostering refugees’ financial independence and societal
integration.
EU Knowledge Immersion Programs: Through a series of
workshops, seminars, and cultural exchanges, this initiative
will impart a deep understanding of the EU, focusing on its
democratic values, institutions, policies, and operational
frameworks, with a specific focus on Luxembourg
Key components of the UIH project will include:
Yearly budget: 400 000 EUR
(600 euros/preson/year)
Why we ask for help?
The UIH project’s objectives extend beyond short-term refugee
management, instead focusing on fostering long-term societal integration,
financial independence, and social inclusion. Our mission is twofold: to help
these displaced Ukrainians become self-sufficient and well-integrated in their
host countries while also providing comprehensive knowledge and insights
about the functioning of the European Union, with a special emphasis on
Luxembourg.
This approach will equip returning refugees with a nuanced understanding of
European systems, institutions, policies, and societies, thereby equipping
them with the tools and inspiration to champion reform in their home
country. We believe that fostering such informed and motivated individuals
will catalyze Ukraine’s integration into the European Union and significantly
boost the country’s overall development.
By addressing both the immediate and future needs of displaced Ukrainians,
the UIH project aims to foster resilient communities, bridge cultural divides,
and contribute to Ukraine’s ambitious journey towards integration with the
European Union.
