Through the implementation of the project we would like to contribute to strengthening the resilience of civil society in Ukrainian regions by transferring experience and good practice from the process of transformation of Czech (and Slovak) mining regions to the Kirovograd region and by strengthening links between Ukrainian and Czech/European organizations involving young people in their activities. The cooperation of these youth workers should focus on strengthening the ability to communicate well the possibilities of solving problems related to mining or its closure and motivate the public, especially young people, to participate in the changes in their communities. The project also seeks to disrupt the current perception of Ukrainian civil society as a passive victim of ongoing Russian aggression and to provide the Czech media with examples of the commitment and determination of Ukrainian civic initiatives in the face of Russian aggression.
