The COVID19 pandemic and the recent invasion of Ukraine have made the situation of refugees in Europe even more desperate. According to the UNHCR, more than 2.8 million people have fled Ukraine into neighbouring countries. This number grows daily. We need to identify how can we help and assist more at European level. All our young members are invited to contribute. Prepare your questions, comments in advance about this topic.
