On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
From the first day of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has defended itself against Russian aggression not only through military action, but also through a hard-to-beat level of civic activity. Based on both long-standing experience of compensating state tasks in defence and humanitarian aid since the first Russian invasion in 2014 and on a high level of social ownership and civic responsibility, Ukrainian volunteerism forms a strong force in Ukraine’s resistance and resilience. In this talk, I will portray recent development directions of how Ukrainian civil society keeps state and society running amidst a full-scale war, and I will analyse the roots of Ukrainian civic resilience. Furthermore, I will also portray the resistance movement in the occupied territories as a particular civic contribution to upholding Ukrainian perseverance
