Ukraine: Fleeing the war

The Friends of Waldorf Education is preparing a series of actions to help traumatised, frightened refugees on the borders of Ukraine, as well as those who remain in Ukraine.

In view of the massive attacks on Ukraine and the resulting refugee and danger situation for the people, the Friends of Waldorf Education will implement three projects in particular: aid for Waldorf educational institutions, the finding of accommodation and school places and emergency educational missions at the borders and in Ukraine.
