The Unissued Diplomas exhibition has been installed at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice and will be open from 3 March to 11 April 2025. The travelling exhibition of photographs honours the memory of Ukrainian students who did not have the opportunity to graduate because they lost their lives in the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Unissued Diplomas is an international project that commemorates the lost lives of Ukrainian students, many of whom worked hard to complete their studies. Sadly, they did not live to experience this significant milestone or see their plans for the future fulfilled. Since the beginning of the exhibition, more than 250 exhibitions have been organised in 30 countries across over 100 universities. This year, it will once again be displayed on university campuses and other institutions worldwide.
At UPJŠ, 40 larger-than-life size diplomas have been placed on stands that will travel between its faculties. The diplomas present the life stories of the deceased students and the tragic circumstances of their deaths. The primary aim of this initiative is to remind our students of the fates of their peers while underscoring that the war continues, with the number of innocent victims still rising.
