The UNHCR protects and supports refugees and internally displaced persons and promotes their local integration.
Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University has a long-standing relationship with UNHCR, which resulted in the creation of the BlueLab multi-hub dialogue platform before the second displacement, where teachers and students from among the internally displaced persons conducted classes and extracurricular activities.
