We can help!

Dear students!

Recent events in Ukraine remind us that peace is not self-evident. In the academic community, we resolutely reject any violence, no matter what the cause and motive for it. Violence has never solved any problem.

At our faculty, we have students from Ukraine who are safe, but I believe they need help, one way or another. Many of us have professional colleagues and acquaintances in Ukraine. Some are on their way to the EU, but they do not yet know what they will do there. We also have students and colleagues from Russia who are in distress because of the events they have no control over and the stigma that is coming. Please maintain your dignity. Let’s judge people by actions, not by affiliation.

I ask you to help our academic members from Ukraine to the best of your ability, whatever help they or their loved ones need. The Student Council of the Faculty, together with colleagues from the Rectorate, will coordinate the collection of needs and assistance; the entire faculty management is also at your disposal.

Thank you for your help.

With best regards,

assoc. prof. dr. Boštjan Brumen, the dean of Faculty of Tourism UM
