The project will work through interviews, questionnaires and focus group work with two institutions (UСU, Heritage Rescue Headquarters) and two communities (foster family, Emmaus Center) that have proven their resilience. Based on the conducted research, this interdisciplinary project will gain insight into the sustainability of these social systems, which will allow us to answer the question of strengthening the sustainability of Ukrainian institutions in general.
