With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, local civil society faced absolutely new challenges they have never experienced before: relocation, safety issues, cyber and physical security, crisis project management and working under stressful conditions all the time. How have they managed to survive? How have the thematic focuses changed? What was the most challenging as of February 24? These and other questions will be raised during the discussion.
