Update 3/04/2022
Our CreativeMornings/Kyiv host Ann Mazur shared this request for helping Ukrainian creatives:
“Looking for jobs for Ukrainians!
My dear friends! You are creative professional from all over the world and I ask for your help. Millions of Ukrainians have lost their homes, jobs and all sources of financial income. Not everyone has the reserves to hold out even for a short time. For many Ukrainians who have been forced to leave their homes, it is now crucial to cover basic needs in food and roof for themselves and their families.
If you or your company have the ability to support us and create jobs for Ukrainians, please, do. Remote format is in high priority, but opportunities in Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and other European countries and cities also required!
We have well known in Ukraine job board for creative industries, so we will do out best to spread job offers among Ukrainians wherever they may be. We also already have database of 70+ professionals with advanced English in variety of fields — marketing, HR, IT, design — to share with you.
You can post it here : https://happymonday.ua/add_job (We are working on english version at the moment, but I hope google translate can help.)
Or you can send job offers to info@happymonday.ua and we will post them ourselves.
And, please, share my message with those who can support us.”
