AHO students in solidarity with Ukraine
16. March, 2022
Tuesday 15 March AHO students gathered on campus in solidarity with Ukraine.
There was speaches by rector Ole Gustavsen, SAHO leader Pernille Boye Ahlgren, student Alla Onopchenko from Ukraine, and student Anna Dyakonova from Russia.
– This is a solidarity gathering where we try to not have a political message, but a humanitarian one. We are all affected by this situation, there is probably not one human in Europe who does not feel affected by this. Those who are in the middle of it with tanks and snipers are of course the ones who are affected the most. We have two students from Ukraine, two from Russia, and a scholarship student from Belarus. We try to focus on compassion for the critical situation many humans find themselves in, says Ole Gustavsen
The student union, SAHO, and Alla Onopchenko have started a fundraising campaign among students to get medical equipment that will be sent to Ukraine.
Many in the community are getting involved, and Arkitektnytt has written about how architects can help, among other things. Read more here.
