Vulnerability and Endurance: Stories of Those Who Remained in Kharkiv and Kharkiv Region During the Full- Scale Invasion

We are pleased to invite you to the urban seminar of the field research team of the project "Those Who Remained: Testimonies of Kharkiv Region Residents."

During the second round of the project, the research team paid a lot of attention to conversations with people who are traditionally considered to be vulnerable. It was important for the researchers to understand how they live through these difficult times in Kharkiv and the region, what gives them the strength to stay, and how to properly support people in difficult situations.

Three reports will be presented at the seminar: on how businesses that are currently opening in Kharkiv are coping, on the difficulties of dialogue with residents of the occupied territories, and on the danger of retraumatizing the respondent when talking about sensitive topics.

The team hopes for a fruitful discussion that will help to continue research in this area.

The project "Those Who Remained: Testimonies of Kharkiv Region Residents" was supported by Körber-Stiftung (Hamburg).
