Short Description
The website presents personal stories of Ukrainians who came to Germany as a result of war and flight. Created as part of the ‘Together in Ulm’ initiative by ILEU e.V., the platform offers insights into individual experiences as well as the history, culture and traditions of Ukraine. This is complemented by an interactive map that shows the storytellers’ places of origin, as well as the radio group ‘Voices of Ukraine’, which broadcasts monthly on Radio free FM. The website invites people to share their own stories and promote intercultural dialogue.
Die Webseite präsentiert persönliche Geschichten von Ukrainer:innen, die aufgrund von Krieg und Flucht nach Deutschland kamen. Entstanden im Rahmen der Initiative „Zusammen in Ulm“ von ILEU e.V., bietet die Plattform Einblicke in individuelle Erfahrungen, aber auch die Geschichte, Kultur und Traditionen der Ukraine. Ergänzt wird dies durch eine interaktive Karte, die die Herkunftsorte der Erzähler:innen zeigt, sowie durch die Radiogruppe „Stimmen der Ukraine“, die monatlich bei Radio free FM sendet. Die Webseite lädt dazu ein, eigene Geschichten zu teilen und den interkulturellen Dialog zu fördern.

Goals
Behind the news, figures and statistics are people with personal stories. The project aims to give these individual fates a voice. Refugees from Ukraine talk about their lives, their homeland, the war and their flight from their own perspective. The aim is to provide insights, break down prejudices and promote an open dialogue – for more understanding, empathy and human closeness in dealing with refugees.
What is needed
The website [buchdergeschichtenukraine.wordpress.com] enables refugees from Ukraine to share personal stories and information about Ukraine. It shows the individual fates and gives those affected space to report on war, flight, home and new beginnings – in their own words. The project is complemented by an interactive map of origin and the radio series ‘Voices of Ukraine’ on Radio free FM. The aim is to create understanding, facilitate encounters and build bridges between people and cultures. The platform invites people to read, listen and participate. Interested parties can send in their own texts and contribute to the design of the website.
