On July 5, within the framework of our “Blue Hearts” project, the “City of Changes: Youth Synergy for Community Development” training took place in Novovolynsk, which brought together 23 young people from the city and surrounding villages, including 10 internally displaced persons.
The purpose of the training was to involve local youth of the Novovolinsk community and internally displaced persons in project management, fundraising and communications in order to promote cooperation and synergy in the community.
The participants of the event learned about the goals and achievements of the “Blue Hearts” project and increased their awareness of the values and institutions of the European Union. Together with the cool speakers of the event: Serhiy Kornylyuk, Diana Mazurok, Dmytro Hynalyuk – young people acquired new knowledge and skills in project management, public speaking and communications.
Throughout the event, young people developed ideas for their own social initiatives that they would like to implement in the community. Based on the results of the pitching and evaluation by the jury, three winners were determined, who will receive financial and mentoring support from the organizers to implement their projects by the end of summer 2024.
We would like to thank the training coordinator Daryna Lynnyk and the partners of the event: Youth Center 4.0 / Novovolynsk and NGO “Youth Sails” for providing young people with the opportunity for self-development and implementation of their ideas.
The training was held within the framework of the Blue Hearts project, which is implemented by the AY Institute (Lithuania), Asociatia CPDIS (Romania), Fundacja Nowy Staw (Poland) and Young Agents of Change (Ukraine), and is financed by the European Union.
