Solidarity for Ukraine

Collaboration and cooperation takes place between civil society organizations, private actors and authorities. Our main purpose is to facilitate and enable work between organizations, employees and volunteers to create and make support available to the target group. Through continuous contact with Ukrainian newcomers, we keep the support relevant.

Since August 2022, Soulidarity has been leading a cross-sectoral collaboration on the design of a national digital tool for work and education integration. The tool is called Ukraine Job Fair and aims to build both short- and long-term bridges between the target group and employers, civil society, educational bodies and authorities. The site is specifically adapted to be easily accessible and available to all participants.

In order to give newcomers from Ukraine the opportunity to get in touch with employers we have invited LinkedIn who on Monday will come to our premises to to give a lecture. They will demonstrate how to best create and optimize your digital CV toto make it attractive to employersand how to find relevant and rewarding jobs through their service. During the lecture, we will also demonstrate our work-integrating and job-matchingplatform. Ukraine Job Fair.

Location: Blecktornsgränd 13, Café Södermalm. Time: 13:00-15:00, Monday April 17th.

Last year, Soulidarity & HumanRights, through the partner Center for Displaced People (Sweden) and AUPS in collaboration with Lansera Sports Camp, arranged a very appreciated camp for about 40 newly arrived Ukrainian children. The activities included a three-night stay, Leksand Adventure Park, daily restaurant visits, outdoor activities and much more.

Allowing children to be children regardless of their circumstances is vital for building the basic security and carefree memories needed to successfully integrate into Swedish society and live a healthy life. This is especially true for those who have fled war - who otherwise risk suffering from long-term psychological challenges such as PTSD.

Our work with Lansera has deepened in many ways, including through our Ukraine Job Fair platform, and we are now seeking funding to once again brighten the lives of Ukrainian children. Read more about their recent camp experience and watch the movie below.

Soulidarity & HumanRights (NPO/NGO) in collaboration with Framtidsverket and Lansera Virtual Events is now bringing together Ukrainian job seekers with companies to help newcomers into the Swedish labor market in order to restore the individual's financial security, create a sense of coherence and not least a meaningful socially contributing employment.

Ukrainejobfair is a year-round recruitment fair that offers tools to facilitate the hiring process for both employers and employees, ranging from interpreters, availability of civil society organization activities, career tests, job coaches, multilingual job postings, matching services and help with application processes. Let's make a difference together.

As a result of Russia's war against Ukraine and the introduction of the EU's Mass Refugee Directive, Soulidarity has coordinated local resources in a collaborative network to assist refugees with humanitarian efforts. Furthermore, in 2022, Soulidarity & HumanRights has started a national tri-sectoral initiative to facilitate refugees. All humanitarian work is based on our core values that aim for sustainable solutions and are based on Human Rights, Agenda 2030, Democracy and Justice.
