UBB is helping, and invites people from Ukraine to study here!
The social action "ATH POMAGA!" (UBB is helping!), which is organised by the Student Council of UBB and has been working since the first days of the war in Ukraine, has united the academic community of our university and volunteers from the city and the region. They are organising the donation of basic goods which will be given to refugees from Ukraine, and in general for humanitarian purposes. The communication centre of this social action is located in the D building of the UBB campus. Both our Polish and Ukrainian students are taking part in the social action (as seen on the photo). You can find more information on the page of the Student Council of UBB and also on the Facebook group "ATH POMAGA!" on Facebook.
