The International Centre for Culture and Development of WUNU has won a grant from the Visegrad Fund!
The International Centre for Culture and Development of West Ukrainian National University, headed by Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Olga Tsaryk, will receive a prestigious V4 Gen mini-grant from the Visegrad Fund in cooperation with the NGO ‘Educational and Social Innovations’, the Czech Technical University in Prague and the University of Rzeszow, with the support and co-financing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea in the amount of 10 thousand euros.
The grant will support a new project ‘Youth Empowerment: Democracy in Action’ aimed at promoting democratic values, civic participation and cross-border dialogue among young people. The project is coordinated by Lilia Krysovata, International Communications Specialist at the Centre. The project will be implemented in the form of a youth exchange programme, which will take place offline in Prague and Ternopil. The project will focus on key topics, including democracy, governance, civic engagement, cultural exchange, leadership, communication and critical thinking. Through a series of lectures, interactive workshops, seminars and debates, young participants will be engaged in an active learning experience aimed at promoting cultural understanding and developing problem-solving skills in the context of democracy and civic engagement.
This initiative is an important step in strengthening ties between educational institutions in Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Poland, while empowering the next generation of active citizens and leaders.
