The war in Ukraine, which started this year, has brought drastic changes to everyone’s lives, especially the everyday lives of the residents of Ukraine. The University of Latvia (UL) has taken action in order to support the students from Ukraine who are studying in Latvia. A charity campaign “For free Ukraine” was started this spring to aid UL students from Ukraine by applying tuition fee discounts, as well as to make it possible for the students to live in UL dormitories for free and receive psychological help. The donations are administered by the UL Foundation. The director of UL Pre-studies Training Centre Sarmīte Miltiņa has stated the following about the opportunity to support the students: “We, the University of Latvia and the Summer School of Latvian Language and Culture, are honored to be able to assist Ukrainians in learning Latvian and discovering our history and culture during these times of obscurity. We hope that the gained knowledge will not only be of assistance

for organizing study and learning processes in Latvian schools. More information about Uzdevumi.lv: www.uzdevumi.lv/
