Invitation to the Inter-regional Youth Forum “Youth unites Ukraine”
Inter-regional youth forum “Youth unites Ukraine” will be held on 5-7 September 2014 at the recreation camp “Zoriany” (Potoky village, Kremenchuk district, Poltava oblast). The event is expected to assemble 200 youth leaders and young activists from all over Ukraine.
The Forum agenda includes the most sensitive and crucial issues Ukrainian youth faces nowadays, issues that are often difficult for public bodies and educational institutions to deal with and to find realistic, comprehensive solutions to. Youth force consolidation in the framework of the youth forum is probably more necessary now than ever before as no one but the young people are best to tackle these issues or at least initiate first steps to approach them. It is expected that the Forum will produce a concreate and comprehensive road map for young people to act on a local level over the next 2 years. After the event, when the participants will came back to their home towns they will be empowered with new ideas on what to do and where to start.
For 3 days, young leaders will have the opportunity to work in 6 committees in the “open space” format, and to take part in the discussions with international diplomats. A special event, NGOs and initiative groups’ fair will also be organized in the framework of the Forum. The Fair is aimed to create an exchange platform for best initiatives and projects among the event participants. There will also be interesting master classes and outdoor sport activities held during the Forum. Organizers: Department for family, children and youth of the Kremenchuk city council executive committee, Kremenchuk city Youth Parliament, Kremenchuk city committee of youth organizations, Kremenchuk city center of social services for families, children and youth financially supported by UNFPA Ukraine.
