Our story

From an idea in 2016 to a courtyard on Andriivskyi Descent

At first the Hub was a circle of people; since 2019 it has been an abandoned courtyard we brought back to life ourselves. Move through the years with the slider, the arrows or the year buttons.

The idea of CHORNOBYL HUB

So much knowledge about Chornobyl had piled up, and there was nowhere to share it. That is how the idea of a platform for everyone who cares about the subject was born.
