Czechia
The Czech Chamber of Architects, in cooperation with the OnPlan design office, has launched the ‘Design with Us / ПРОЄКТУЙ З НАМИ’ initiative with the aim of involving refugees with education in architecture, construction, urban planning and other related fields in the work process.

Through the website, it is possible to offer work to your colleagues in the field of architecture, urban planning or construction, which was affected by the war in Ukraine. We receive as well requests from Ukrainian professionals and students who are willing to work remotely from Ukraine.

You can fill out the questionnaire and your company or institution can become a place for professional growth and a source of financial security for Ukrainians.

Denmark
Architectural firms can offer Ukrainian refugees work, internships or, for example, office space for architects, designers and others working in the creative industries via the National Institute for Architecture and Urban Planning's (NIAiU) database in Poland. Danske Arkitektvirksomheder is in dialogue with Akademisk Arkitektforening and FAOD to uncover the possibilities for how you as an architect and architectural firm can help. In addition, we follow the initiatives that are put in place by our international sister organizations via ACE and UIA. Need for work  Denmark has quickly come out with a desire to open the door for Ukrainian refugees with a special law that gives them a work permit. This will make it possible to help Ukrainian architects in employment.  We therefore recommend - like the Association of Architects - for the time being our members to use the database established by The National Institute for Architecture and Urban Planning (NIAiU) in Poland. This calls for work, telework, internships or, for example, office space for architects, designers and others who work in the creative industries. During the first weeks, they have received around 360 inquiries, from people who have either lost their jobs in Ukraine, fled to Poland or are traveling through Poland to move on to find work in other countries.

Help for victims of the war in Ukraine: website launched 
They are also looking for volunteers with knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian to join Safa’s network  
Ukrainian architects have been deprived of the opportunity to practice their profession in their native country, and a large number of unemployed colleagues have already fled to countries across Europe. While most flee to the neighbouring countries, there is also a constant flow of Ukrainians to Finland.  Would your office / workplace be willing to provide project-based work for an architect fleeing the war, or a remote job opportunity for a person residing in another country, an internship for an architecture student, or a remote workstation and tools?  The Association of Finnish Architects (ATL) and Safa have launched a webpage for information on jobs and offers of work space at www.safa.fi/help  Five offices shave already registered with the service. You can also help by sharing information about safa.fi/ help on your networks / social media channels! Would you like to serve as a support person?  Do you know Russian or Ukrainian, and would you be willing to act as a support person for colleagues coming to Finland from Ukraine? Assistance provided by a person speaking the same language is invaluable for someone entering a new culture. Such assistance may consist of interpreting or help with practical matters, such as housing and work.  Volunteers, please contact: pia.selroos(at)safa(dot)fi

OAR is pleased to support the initiative of a Romanian architectural practice (TransForm), who created a simple on-line form that can be easily distributed and viewed, and hope this may be of interest to you and other member organizations.  Acting swiftly, as one has to in times like this, they have used the online collaboration system Smartsheet (https://www.smartsheet.com/ ) that they currently employ in their office and google translate to create a shareable online form for Ukraininan architects https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/199ca37d3ba241019a437f8be485d784 with publicly viewable results https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/199ca37d3ba241019a437f8be485d784.

Sweden

Architects Sweden raise their voice against Putin’s war at manifestations every Wednesday at 12.30 in
front of the Russian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. On Wednesday April 6 our President Emina Kovacic contributed with a speech against the war. Kovacic expressed that the community of architects in Sweden is deeply concerned about the destruction of the cities of Ukraine and the targeting of cultural heritage sites and civilian buildings.In response to President Zelenskyj’s call for support from Sweden and particularly architects in Sweden on March 25 she addresses the trust embodied in architecture and the need to build hope for the future by planning for a reconstruction.

Architects Sweden is supporting fund raising by UNHCR for Ukraine. In relation to the yearly Architecture Award Ceremony Arkitekturgalan we endorse a targeted support for the reception of students of architecture at the Academy of Arts in Vilnius. The program for architecture is at the frontier with Ukraine and help many students. They can help more if they receive donations for accommodations and temporary scholarships.

The National Board of Antiquities is organizing rescue operations of archives in Ukraine and are open to include architecture drawing archives with the Swedish architecture and design archive ArkDes –Sweden’s National Centre for Architecture and Design. Through the international aid organization Union-to-Union Architects Sweden has a potential presence in Ukraine to support the National Union of Architects of Ukraine. Among the refugees there will also be architects. In the short term we are planning to organize workshops on the modern cultural heritage and the future reconstruction of cities affected by war in Ukraine in cooperation with Arkdes and local art galleries. This will act as a venue for Ukrainian architects to meet Swedish architects for a constructive professional dialogue on the situation in Ukraine.

Swedish Architects offer a temporary membership for qualified architects from Ukraine on a tentative assessment of diplomas and is engaging in practical worklife introduction programs for architects with a foreign education.
