Deeds of Hope 24.04 🔵🟡 Ukrainian Association

Evening of Solidarity and Friendship! 

For our April edition of Deeds of Hope, we invite you to spend an evening exploring Ukrainian culture, learning together and expressing solidarity through shared activities.🤝

The evening will begin with a presentation by the Ukrainian Association in Finland, offering insights into their work and the Ukrainian community in Finland.

We will then take part in an interactive Kahoot quiz📲, featuring questions about Ukraine, Finland and Europe — a fun and engaging way for both international participants and Ukrainians to connect and learn together.🎀

In the second part of the event, participants will join a creative workshop, crafting postcards with messages of support and solidarity for Ukraine, which will later be exhibited at the Ukrainian Center.🌅

Throughout the evening, we will also share a traditional Ukrainian meal — a vegan version of borsch 🍲 — prepared together as a moment of community and connection.

Come learn, create and share in a meaningful evening of culture and solidarity! 💙💛

The event will be organized as part of the European Youth Week 2026, organised by the European Commission every second year to celebrate and promote youth engagement, participation and active citizenship all over Europe and beyond.

About the project – Deeds of Hope

🌱 Deeds of Hope is a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) solidarity project. It’s created by youth, run by volunteers, and co-funded by the European Union.
It consists of a series of monthly events where we meet to share knowledge about activism and social engagement, explore the impact of Helsinki’s changemakers, and learn how to become part of movements for change.
We’ll get our hands dirty in practical workshops, where each month’s featured movement or organization shares hands-on skills and knowledge gained from their experience in activism.

We also offer free plant-based meals, cooked by our volunteers with primarily seasonal and locally produced ingredients.
