Understanding Europe Ukraine

Our team in Ukraine consists of motivated volun­teers who are part of the European Youth Parli­ament. As in other project countries, we conduct Under­standing Europe Crash Courses and aim to strengthen the students’ democratic compe­tences and to get to know the history, insti­tu­tions and oppor­tu­nities for parti­ci­pation of the European Union. Over the past years, we have held several events for new Trainers and have coope­rated with the European Youth Parli­ament to conduct courses not only in schools but also as a part of the EYP sessions in the country.

“We find Understanding Europe Ukraine to be a unique platform for the team to create opportunities for young people in Ukraine to deepen their knowledge in such areas as media literacy, advocacy, democracy-building and social transformation processes at large. We believe this is also a suitable community for young people to rethink and redefine the relationships and connections between Ukraine and other European states and EU institutions in times of Ukraine’s heroic defense against Russia’s full-scale invasion. As UE Ukraine coordinators we aim to educate young people on basic democratic principles, Europe, and our own country - Ukraine, which is an integral part of Europe.”
