Since we left our home in Odesa after the invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, we have used our knowledge and skills to deliver emotional resilience and communication skills workshops for refugee groups, given talks on our experience and delivered training for local councils to help them more effectively and empathetically engage with communities, especially refugees.

Emotsiya is a project named after the Ukrainian word for “Emotion,” which aims to explore and understand our feelings.
Through webinars and online workshops, we unveil the depth and significance of emotions, unraveling their impact on our lives and empowering individuals with the knowledge to navigate and manage them effectively.
Emotsiya acts as a bridge between languages and cultures, harmonizing the universal understanding of emotions and fostering a sense of connection and well-being for participants across borders.
UkrainiansTogether.UK was founded by lawyers and mediators Hanna Dushkova and Vitalii Diakov after they arrived in Dundee, Scotland as refugees from Odesa, Ukraine.
Their training utilises their interests in theories of conflict, non-violent communication and emotional intelligence, as well as building on their own experiences to deliver something highly useful and unique.
