Moderator: Your platform, SD Platform, has been active in research and advocacy. Can you share your recent work?
Ferens: Yes. With support from partners like the UK Labour Party, Westminster Foundation, and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, we’ve developed a position paper on a fair and inclusive recovery model for Ukraine.
Our work is not just theoretical—it’s meant to influence actual policy. We emphasize a human-centric, equitable, and sustainable approach. This means not just rebuilding bridges and roads, but ensuring veterans, displaced persons, teachers, youth, and people with disabilities are included in the process.
