“𝙐𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙎𝙐𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝙄𝙋𝙇𝙊𝙈𝘼𝙎” Exhibition in Penang, Malaysia
——— He wanted to study history , not become it .
.
In 2023-2024, the Unissued Diplomas project reached over 250 locations across 30 countries. This November, we invite you to Malaysia’s first Unissued Diplomas exhibition in Penang.
Dedicated to honouring the memory of 40 Ukrainian students whose lives were tragically cut short in the Russian-Ukrainian war, this exhibition shares their stories as a powerful testament to their courage and the sacrifices made in Ukraine’s pursuit of freedom. Through this project, we hope to raise awareness and funds to support the next generation of Ukrainian students.
Join us in bearing witness to these lives marked by resilience and helping keep their legacy alive for future generations.
