 During October 3-4, the First Forum of European Union Networks in Ukraine was held in Kyiv. The event gathered representatives of Euroclubs, EU information centers, graduates of European educational programs, as well as other activists and experts from all over Ukraine cooperating with the EU Delegation in Ukraine. The purpose of the Forum is to familiarize the network members with the latest developments in EU-Ukraine relations and to share lessons learned.

During the Forum, an awards ceremony for the winners of the Contest on the topic of education in the EU and cooperation between Ukraine and the EU took place. More than 130 videos were submitted to the competition. The theme of this year was education, as well as cooperation between Ukraine and the EU. Videos were evaluated in two categories: "professionals", for participants with specialized education or experience in the field of video production, and "amateurs", that is, those who did not have the relevant experience

The first place in the category "Professionals", according to the decision of the professional jury was awarded to Andrii Vavryk, TNEU student ("Marketing", Faculty of Economics and Management) for his video "Benefits of Studing in Europe".
