On Thursday 10th March we are hosting this very important, free event to explore how we tap into our community in Ireland to support Ukraine .

In the past week asylum seekers have begun arriving in Ireland from Ukraine. They are fleeing an unjust war. A war they didn’t want. A war that is being currently investigated by the International Criminal Court in the Hague for numerous war crimes. This event explores how our tech for good community in Ireland can be mobilised to support Ukraine and the projects underway led by Anton Krasun https://www.irelandhelpukraine.com/
