THE STORY BEHIND THE ORGANIZATION

The idea to establish an organization in Ukraine that would unite young people of different ages and create opportunities for them to develop, meet and travel arose in the minds of our founders and members not spontaneously. By participating in international projects and exploring the experience of other countries, they were inspired to make more efforts for positive change in Ukraine to make it economically, politically and socially capable.

But it would be very difficult for them to implement such an idea on their own. So the next step was to find a team of active people united by a common goal. Since its founding in 2017, our organization has been driven forward by our mission, vision and values, which we try to transmit to Ukrainian society through our daily work.
