The economy of Ukraine in the immediate future will be focused on the response to the military invasion. Fifty per cent of the national budget will be invested in military spending. Consequently, investments in the educational, social and youth sectors will be reduced. Civil societies and local organisations need support and the creation of links with their European counterparts, in order to increase their capacities with the experience of European organisations.
The aim of the project is therefore to strengthen the network of European solidarity towards Ukrainian civil society and to contribute to the development of local organisations through a detailed analysis of youth conditions in the country in the light of the conflict and a series of youth exchanges between Ukrainian and European youth delegations.
Together with the Ukrainian Leadership Academy (ULA) and Collegium Civitas, Un Ponte Per will endeavour to provide European civil society organisations and European institutions (Parliament, Commission) with detailed background information; organise youth exchanges through Ukrainian delegations that will travel to Brussels and other European cities; and delegations of young Europeans that will travel to Ukraine.
