Social recovery in frontline and de-occupied communities.

Vision of the project

The project "Social Recovery in Frontline and De-occupied Communities" was created in response to the needs of Oleksiyivska ATC in Kharkiv Oblast after being in the frontline zone and the needs of Tsyrkunivska ATC following a period of occupation and hostilities. The aim was to restore social ties, promote cultural development, and strengthen civic awareness among the youth communities of these areas.

The project included organising and conducting various educational lectures, discussions, competitions, hiking trips, and workshops. It also focused on developing cultural and educational spaces, creating information content, and fostering further interaction with project participants.
