Charles Durrett - Ukrainian Refugees: Update from the Border

The Ukrainian Refugees: Update from the Border webinar on June 3rd, 2022, was hosted by Ken Pienkos, Program Manager and Adjunct Faculty for Antioch University’s Center for Continuing Education, and Charles Durrett, Architect Emeritus AIA and founder of The Cohousing Company. 98 days ago, Charles Durrett traveled to Poland to work to build at least one large childcare center for the benefit of Ukrainian refugees in need. This need arose because approximately 250 people were housed in a school building in Poland. About 150 of these were children. Durrett shared that over 80% of the Ukrainian refugees are children under the age of 18 and 32% are under the age of 5 (UN Refugee Agency – UNHCR).

Charles Durrett will be teaching a course called How to Address Homelessness in Your Town you can find it and many more unique continuing education opportunities on Antioch University’s Center for Continuing Education website or by subscribing to its newsletter. More information about this work along with pictures from the build can be found on the Go Fund Me page where The Durrett-Davies Ukrainian Refugee Childcare Project raised over $70,000.
