By implementing the project, we aim to strengthen the capacity of the Ukrainian environmental sector and civil society to contribute to the process of bringing Ukrainian legislation related to nature protection closer to the standards of the European Union. The project aims to support the active participation of environmental initiatives in the implementation of European environmental standards and in the reconstruction of the country after the war caused by Russian aggression. Special emphasis is placed on the role of civil society in the fight against corruption and mismanagement. The objectives of the project were set as follows: - To strengthen the capacities of 20 youth workers from Ukraine and the Czech Republic in environmental protection, communication to (different groups of) the public and involvement of young people in educational and advocacy activities, - develop the capacity and practical skills of Ukrainian and Czech youth workers to advocate for legislative changes in environment protection at local, regional and national level, - share examples of good practice in the field of recultivation of valuable landscape, strengthening landscape resilience to climate change and boost the civic participation, - strengthen cooperation between Czech and Ukrainian environmental organisations, - expand the Czech public's awareness of Ukrainian civil society beyond the war victim narrative - show the Ukrainian environmental movement as proactive and resilient, with the potential to contribute to the country's preparation for EU accession.
