UIL Capacity-Building Fellowships for Displaced Ukrainians
The Ukrainian Institute London is pleased to run four short-term, part-time fellowships for displaced Ukrainians to work with us on our programme of events, cultural initiatives and educational courses.
We recognise that for many displaced Ukrainians in the UK, it is challenging to find work related to their professional training and experience, due to a lack of accessible opportunities. Through these fellowships, we aim to support our fellows to build their capacity and professional skills in the UK context.
As part of these placements, fellows will receive training and mentorship, and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the Ukrainian Institute London’s work in championing Ukrainian culture in the UK and beyond.
These fellowships are made possible thanks to grants from the London Community Foundation, the Refugee Council and the British Red Cross Ukrainian Refugee Response Fund.We have already appointed three fellows, who are working with us on events, the film festival and the English School.
