TEDxBoulderSalon: Ukraine’s Resilience

​In the chaos of war, Ukraine’s civilians became a force for innovation, coordination, and survival.

• ​A Ukrainian family flees an occupied region, unprepared—not from ignorance, but from too much noise and too little trust

• ​A diaspora engineer, volunteering with Sunflower Seeds for Ukraine, teaches himself to build drone defense tech to protect his homeland

• ​A psychoanalyst opens the International Institute for Trauma Studies, embedding care into classrooms, clinics, and communities across Ukraine.

• ​A CU political scientist reveals how local governments are quietly powering Ukraine’s resilience, even as public faith in them wanes

​Together, they’ll lead a live audience dialogue on Ukraine’s Resilience.
