The Czech Technical University in Prague, in cooperation with Study in Prague, Erasmus Student Network CTU in Prague, and Generation for Ukraine, presents the exhibition “Unissued Diplomas,” commemorating 40 Ukrainian students whose lives were cut short by the war. Through the symbolic act of awarding the diplomas they were never able to receive, the exhibition reveals the personal stories of young people – their hopes, plans, work, and the futures that were taken from them. It reminds us of the true cost of freedom and the resilience of the human spirit in times of loss and uncertainty.
The opening ceremony will take place on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM at the National Library of Technology (NTK), Technická 2710/6, Prague 6 – Dejvice.
