Thanks to the commitment of all project partners and of dozens of European publishers, the project has been able to publish and distribute over 200,000 books. This year, we are proud to have speakers from the whole chain responsible for bringing books to Ukrainian children: the Commission, which financed the project; FEP and UBI, respectively project coordinator and project partner; one of the publishers who chose to join the project; a Ukrainian printer and a German distributor, ultimately responsible for printing the books and distributing them to the points where they were collected by children.

Save the date on your agenda, and join us to show solidarity to Ukrainian publishers!
