Background to the project:
This project focuses on empowering youth in Ukraine by providing tailored educational opportunities through a blended learning approach. It offers two distinct tracks: “Stand Up” seminars for participants aged 14-17 who are new to civic engagement and eager to take their first steps, and “Move On” seminars for participants aged 18-25 who have already gained experience in civic engagement and wish to deepen their involvement.
The program combines online and offline seminars designed to help young people develop their identities as active citizens. Following the seminars, participants implement their own projects (“Grants”) within their local communities, fostering a sense of ownership and confidence in their ability to drive positive social change. With the support of mentors who assist in project implementation, the project empowers youth to take an active role in shaping the future of Ukraine.
The project duration is until June 2026.
