Stories of Warriors in Ukraine

Duration: 28.02.25 – 30.10.25 (8 months, 2 days)
Funding awarded: €53,000 (~394,400 DKK)
Organisation funded: YMCA Lviv (Ukraine),
KFUM’s Soldatermission (Denmark)

This veteran-led project uses storytelling and art therapy as tools for rehabilitation and reintegration of Ukrainian veterans into civilian life. Through workshops in singing, writing, and audio editing, participants create personal stories that are translated and shared internationally—in partnership with Superhumans and Unbroken Rehabilitation Centres (Lviv) and KFUM Soldatermission (Denmark). The initiative also fosters peer-to-peer networks with Danish veterans, providing legal support and encouraging community-driven initiatives. By blending cultural expression with psychosocial support, the project not only aids recovery but raises public awareness of veterans’ experiences and rights across Ukraine and abroad.
