What changed in 2026

The big moves

  • Five activity areas → four pillars (Culture + Advocacy merge; Youth becomes a pillar).
  • One unified system — one accent colour per pillar over a shared layout.
  • Youth is purple (was arbitrarily green in the draft).

Housekeeping

  • Colour values normalised (HEX is the source of truth; CMYK added for print).
  • Registered seat corrected: 33, Bvd Prince Henri, L-1724.
  • RCS F9931 and LUkraine.org made consistent everywhere.
Colour

Colour — copy HEX or CMYK

Core palette

Pillar accents — one colour each

HEX is the source of truth; CMYK is for print (confirm with a soft-proof at the printer). The pillar colour is an accent (a bar, a tag, a heading rule) over the same shared layout. Advocacy sits inside Cultural Bridges as a light-red accent, never a fifth band. verify Youth values from the developed Youth file.

How to install (exact folder)

Windows

  • Easiest: right-click the .ttfInstall (or Install for all users).
  • Manual folder: copy the files into C:\Windows\Fonts (all users) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts (just you).
  • Restart Office to see them.

macOS

  • Easiest: double-click the .ttfInstall Font.
  • Manual folder: copy into ~/Library/Fonts (just you) or /Library/Fonts (all users).
  • Restart Office to see them.

Prefer the one-click installer in New here to do all this automatically. Office fallback where these aren’t available: Arial. On the web they load from Google Fonts.

Tool

Social image resizer

Drop one image and get the exact size for each of our networks. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded. It is free and unlimited: it runs entirely on your own device, with no server, no API key and no shared quota, so there is nothing that could be over-used or abused (unlike online API tools such as TinyPNG).

Need to shrink the file weight too?

Large images slow the site and email, and social platforms re-compress them badly. Resize to the right size first (above), then compress before uploading. We recommend Squoosh (by Google, free, works in the browser — your image is never sent to a server). TinyPNG is a good alternative.

Why it matters: right-sized, compressed images load faster, look sharper (no platform re-scaling), and keep our pages accessible and email-friendly.

Responsibility

Image use & safeguarding

We photograph and film people in vulnerable situations — including children and families affected by war. Dignity comes before impact. LUkraine follows the Dóchas Code of Conduct on Images and Messages (the sector standard promoted by the Cercle de Coopération) and Luxembourg data-protection law.

The rules (Policy §5)

Always

  • Get informed consent before photographing anyone, and explain where the image may appear.
  • For a child, consent comes from a parent or guardian; the child’s own agreement is sought too.
  • Show dignity and agency — strength, not only suffering. Caption truthfully; never stage.
  • Store images securely; keep the signed consent with the image.

Never

  • Publish an identifiable child without guardian consent.
  • Use imagery that exposes someone to reprisal, trafficking, stigma or location.
  • Use close-ups of distress for shock value, or imagery that dehumanises.
  • Reuse an image for a purpose the person did not agree to.

Children & vulnerable persons (Policy §7)

  • Never publish a child’s full name with an identifiable image without guardian consent.
  • Avoid any detail (school, address, location) that could identify where a child can be found.
  • When in doubt, do not publish — ask the Direction.

Third parties & copyright (Policy §9)

  • When a photographer or partner supplies images, agree in writing that LUkraine may use them, and for which purposes.
  • Credit authors where required; never remove a copyright notice or watermark without permission.

Full policy: Image Rights & Safeguarding Policy (v0.1) — compulsory reading for newcomers; sign and return to the Direction.
