“Thinking of People, not Territories” — The 1st Crimea Week in Brussels, May 12th to 16th, 2025

Join us for The 1st Crimea Week in Brussels: Thinking of People, not Territories — a week of high-level discussions, cultural events, and expert exchanges aimed at strengthening European engagement on Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula under Russian occupation since 2014.

This initiative highlights the lived realities of people from Crimea — especially Crimean Tatars, human rights defenders, and independent voices — who continue to resist despite facing systemic repression since Russia’s occupation in 2014.

Too often, Crimea is viewed only through a geopolitical lens. This week shifts the focus to people, their rights, and the urgency of international solidarity.

Organised by Ukrainian and international civil society, in close cooperation with EU institutions.
