U-Story Makes Its Debut in the Ukrainian Capital
U-Story was unveiled in Kyiv, built in partnership between Ukraine’s Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity and the Centre of Ukrainian Resilience Experience (CURE). The platform will gather, structure, and disseminate lessons from Ukraine’s resilience to audiences around the world. For English-speaking readers, this positions Ukraine as an exporter of practical knowledge, not merely a recipient of aid. Minister Denys Uliutyn noted that Ukraine has spent 12 of its 35 years of restored independence resisting Russian aggression.
What U-Story Aims to Do
The initiative is designed to collect and showcase Ukrainian expertise in areas connected to resilience. Content for the platform will be developed with support from the Centre of Ukrainian Resilience Experience. The first format is an immersive exhibition titled “35 Years of Resilience Experience,” which highlights the results of Ukraine’s efforts in this field.
The exhibition has already been shown at the launch event, and one of its next stops will be Unity Hub in Berlin. CURE operates in coordination with central executive bodies, with support from the President of Ukraine and the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity.
“We have experience in the social sphere, in evacuations, and in rapid emergency response. We know how to deliver aid to millions of people and relocate them. Increasingly, our international partners are asking not only what they can do to help Ukraine, but also: how did you manage this? Can you share this experience so we can prepare our own societies?” — Denys Uliutyn
The exhibition will cover a wide range of themes:
- self-organisation
- critical infrastructure
- culture
- technology
- recovery
U-Story is therefore set to become a significant channel for international cooperation and knowledge exchange on resilience. The article about this initiative appeared on Rubryka on 25 August 2026.
Backed by the Ministry of Social Policy and CURE, U-Story has the potential to become an important resource for sharing knowledge and experience between Ukraine and its international partners. Amid ongoing aggression, the platform could support both recovery and stronger international ties, especially relevant in today’s climate of global challenges. Initiatives like this underscore the importance of collective learning and adaptation in resilience, offering lessons that may prove useful to other countries facing similar difficulties.
As the U-Story platform takes shape in Kyiv, it represents a pivotal step in sharing Ukraine's lessons on resilience with the global community.
