Helping Refugees Communicate

Free Communication Boards and Symbol Resources

Support symbol

We have worked with partners and volunteers across Europe to produce a set of free materials to support refugees during these difficult times.

These resources are included in a free pack which will help bridge the language barrier between Ukrainian refugees and their hosts. The pack is available in both Ukrainian and Russian, alongside the language of the host nation.
