“A Lump in My Throat”: Back to Everyday Life After a Visit to Kyiv

A few months after our study visit to Kyiv, we reached out to the participants now back in safe EU capitals to find out how they have been processing their experiences. From Sofia to Madrid, each person felt a strong contrast between their time in Ukraine and everyday life at home. Feeling the urge to stay connected with Ukraine, some have started listening to Ukrainian music on Spotify, some read the online newspaper the Kyiv Independent in the morning, and others plan to return to work in Ukraine.

This episode features insights in short WhatsApp messages from the 2024 cohort of Europe-Ukraine Desk fellows: Yavor Siderov (Bulgaria), Juan López Córcoles (Spain), Vincenzo Leone (Italy), Anna Banati (Hungary), Flora-Dora Csatari (Hungary), Alienor Carriere (France), and Elena Gorgis (Germany).
