About Minorities for Peace:
The Minorities for Peace initiative is a collaborative project designed to foster peace, dialogue, and resilience among minority and indigenous communities impacted by the war in Eastern Europe, particularly refugees from Ukraine and exiles from the Russian Federation. The initiative is implemented by the “NEVER AGAIN” Association and Exult! Solutions, and initially was supported through Rotary International and the Institute for Economics & Peace partnership.
