Resilience and Open Education: Supporting Ukrainian Librarians During Wartime

Join us for a personal and thought-provoking session featuring Dr. Tetiana Kolesnykova, Director of the Scientific Library with the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies (Ukraine), with live translation by Mira Buist-Zhuk, Academic Information Specialist with the University of Groningen Library (Netherlands). Both are members of the European Network of Open Education Librarians (ENOEL). Discover how librarians in Ukraine are using open education as a tool to stay connected with the world and support their communities during the ongoing war. This session will focus on Tetiana's experiences, the resilience of her colleagues, and how collaborative, practical solutions can make a difference.

Expect a conversation about the evolving challenges Ukrainian librarians face in their daily lives, with opportunities to share ideas and understand the cultural nuances of offering meaningful support.
