MAIN QUESTION

When Six Degrees of Separation Steps into Your Life

The idea that all people in the world are connected by six or fewer social connections, was mostly theoretical for Christel (Denmark) and Artem (Ukraine) until 2022.

Russia had invaded Ukraine and while the threats to Ukraine became bigger and came closer, people around the world were asking themselves:

How can I help?

Artem

My company had experienced an abrupt change in projects and business because of the war in Ukraine. The employees and I started to look for some projects abroad and write to every foreign friend in order to find job partnership.

Christel

I offer web development in my company. One day I had a chance conversation with my children’s teacher, who told me she knew someone in Ukraine from a European university exchange during her student years and this friend had reached out to her. This led me to talk to Artem, the owner of this Ukrainian company, and decide to try out working together. It was soon clear to both of us that this was a cooperation that worked very well and the projects we shared have continued to grow ever since.
