Recently we organized a food and medical supplies drive at UE Iserlohn, the university in Germany where I work, and got a lot of press for it. The day the local paper was coming by for a photo shoot, I used Mural to create signs for the kids we invited from the school next door to hold that could be seen from afar, using the wonderful https://www.rawpixel.com/ to get an awesome array of heart png's which I placed on a Ukrainian flag background. They liked them so much they ended up covering a whole wall of their classroom with them! Below is a sample with all of them on one mural ( https://app.mural.co/template/211dd1be-eade-488b-9b41-ae9298207fe5/f3062ebb-9495-4106-8f09-fe31111c1cd0 ).

You can see them holding those posters in the second mural, which features some of the coverage for my office door ( https://app.mural.co/template/d1291dfc-8f4d-4447-94d4-fca888f36208/6a78653e-5470-478e-8b0a-0380fed22abb ). Using Mural to create a press collage is a confidence-building way to showcase students' efforts, and really give them the sense that their work and accomplishments are affirmed and appreciated.

Finally, UE will be welcoming a number of Ukrainian families as we also had a clothing donation drive, and they are invited to come help themselves to what they need as they arrive. The last mural ( https://app.mural.co/template/831835c2-c3ce-4554-9ba6-eef059848142/473ee34d-6b1f-463c-a83f-bdd8968e2a0a ) is a sign for the entrance door with "Welcome" in Ukrainian, German, English and Polish and yet another gorgeous image from https://www.rawpixel.com/.

It also features the Ukrainian Petrykivka painting style, considered part of their national heritage. I found it on the incredibly vast png website https://www.hiclipart.com/ after typing "Ukrainian art" into their search function.

Mural was invaluable throughout the planning process as well, but that's a story for another day. I hope these inspire you to get creative too!
