UA Service HUB presented at the Ukrainian Book Festival in Milan
As part of the Second Ukrainian Book Festival in Milan, the UA Service HUB platform was presented during a panel discussion as a promising digital tool for finding and connecting Ukrainian professionals abroad.
The initiative sparked interest among both the panellists and festival guests, highlighting the importance of developing professional Ukrainian networks in an international context.
As a reminder, the Second Ukrainian Book Festival in Milan took place on 30–31 May — a major international cultural event that brought together Ukrainian and Italian audiences around literature, art, photography, fashion and intercultural dialogue.
Over the course of two days, the historic Villa Scheibler became a space for the Ukrainian word, creativity and international cooperation. The festival was attended by around thirty Ukrainian authors from various European countries, as well as nearly twenty Ukrainian and Italian publishing houses. The programme featured book presentations, creative meetings, discussions, exhibitions and cultural initiatives aimed at promoting Ukrainian culture abroad.
Business Woman magazine served as the festival’s media partner and was prominently featured in the event’s programme. Nadiya Bereziuk, director of the magazine’s Italian office, played a significant role in organising the event and also moderated a series of panel discussions on cultural diplomacy, women’s leadership and international communication.
One of the key events was the panel discussion ‘The Global Voice of Ukrainian Women: Leadership, Media and Women’s Diplomacy in Times of Change’. It was attended by the directors of the magazine’s international offices in Italy, Germany, Portugal, Hungary and Slovenia. The participants discussed the role of women’s leadership in the face of global challenges, the development of Ukrainian communities abroad, and the significance of the media as a tool of cultural diplomacy.
During the discussion, Zhanna Zhukova, President of the CRASA APS association, also presented the charity project “Calendar of Ukrainian Women in Italy”, aimed at supporting and raising the profile of active Ukrainian women in Europe, and spoke about the UA Service HUB platform.
The festival was organised by Biblioteca Ukraina Più – Milano and Ucraina Più – Milano. The festival once again confirmed that Ukrainian books and cultural initiatives remain a powerful tool for international dialogue, the preservation of identity, and the unification of Ukrainians in various countries around the world.
As a reminder, in March, the UA Service HUB platform, as a project of the CRASA APS association, was presented at a forum in Rimini.
The UA Service Hub platform (work.crasa.team) allows professionals to create their own profile, showcase their services, upload a portfolio and start promoting themselves without significant costs. The service is geared towards both offline services in Italy and online work across Europe, which significantly expands opportunities for users.
The platform’s developers and representatives of the CRASA APS association are calling on Ukrainian professionals currently working in Italy to join the service today. Registering on the work.crasa.team website opens up the opportunity to effectively promote their services in the near future, not only within the Ukrainian community but also among Italian clients.
