Podcast: Last minute reasons to Run for Ukraine

Three volunteers from VATAHA’s website team got together to talk all things Run for Ukraine: meaning, message and memory.

In this 20-minute conversation, we talk about why Run for Ukraine doesn’t need you to be Ukrainian to attend – or even run at all. It’s all about showing up in solidarity and joining the community spirit VATAHA has curated throughout the Netherlands over the past three years.

Tune into our very first podcast if you just need that last bit of motivation to sign up to our annual memorial event on Ukrainian Independence Day on 24 August – but be quick, our registration closes on 22 August!

Note: At 16:03 Anni Schleicher mistakenly refers to Christian van der Kooy’s photography exhibition from his one-month residency in Kharkiv, which had not yet taken place yet in August 2024. She however meant PEN Ukraine’s People of Culture Taken Away by the War, which featured at Run for Ukraine 2024, and will be on display at this year’s event again!
