On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, IZOLYATSIA presents the results of the research of social, cultural, and economic changes in Mariupol, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk conducted as part of the ZMINA: Impulse project. At 10 AM, a short press presentation will be held at the Ukrainian Crisis Media Centre. At 7 PM, the IZONE Creative Community will host the full presentation featuring scholars and ZMINA: Impulse managers, as part of the exhibition Utopia: Transformations of the Ukrainian East.
For three months, an interdisciplinary group of researchers has analysed social, cultural and economic changes in the Donbas as well as the activity of NGOs in Mariupol, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk. The research was focused on the influence of the armed conflict on these cities’ economies, labour market, human rights; presence of internally displaced people in local media of Mariupol, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk; civil society development; and the potential of cultural and creative spheres for regional development of the cities in eastern Ukraine affected by the conflict.
