"In Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Arnhem, Haarlem, Zwolle and Leeuwarden, Ukrainians and Dutch residents come together for a shared moment of silence (12:00 CET), human stories, moderated dialogues, and artistic programmes. 

The project responds to “war fatigue” and growing distance in public attention. It brings real voices back to the centre: experiences of living “in-between” two homes, resilience, gratitude and challenges of long-term displacement. 

Through culture and dialogue, remembrance becomes relationship — turning empathy into partnership. 

Local press moments in each city connect into one national narrative, culminating in a dialogue hub in Utrecht. The programme leaves a legacy through documentation and a digital archive that preserves stories, performances and reflections for future educational use."
