  5. #TwinForHope – The UK universities standing with their counterparts to support Ukraine

Our impact

The #TwinForHope campaign demonstrates the positive impact twinning partnerships between UK and Ukrainian universities are having during this humanitarian crisis, from rebuilding campuses and sharing academic resources to welcoming Ukrainian staff and students to the UK to allow teaching and learning to continue.

Some ways in which the partnerships are providing a wide range of practical assistance: 

  • helping to physically rebuild campuses of Ukrainian universities that have been damaged and destroyed
  • mutually recognising credits so that English-speaking Ukrainian students can take online courses from UK universities that count towards their final degree
  • allowing Ukrainian teaching and research to continue in UK laboratories and classrooms where their own facilities were destroyed or damaged
  • facilitating the sharing of academic resources such as libraries and technical equipment
  • preserving Ukrainian archives in UK institutions; facilitating more cultural and language exchange opportunities
  • sharing mental health support – particularly for Ukrainian staff and students suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to conflict
  • allowing Ukrainian students to ‘catch-up’ on the learning they have missed at summer schools hosted in UK institutions. 

When the war is over, and we are victorious, we need to rebuild this country and that is going to start with universities
