“Tkuma” Ukrainian Institute for Holocaust and Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” has long launched the campaign to raise funds for victims of ATO. The Institute works with in-migrants and soldiers as well as conducts special events for them. So, Iryna Piskariova, “Tkuma” Institute Head of Educational Department, joined the training-session.

Within the two-day program, participants dealt with contemporary problems that arise when working with the soldiers and in-migrants. Among the speakers there were experts on law, media literacy and psychology.

Official site of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration cites Rachel Atwood Mendiola, Assistant Cultural Affairs Office of Embassy of USA in Ukraine: “Training tells about advocacy, lobbying, assistance to psychologically affected people. Each time being in Ukraine, I'm amazed how civil society works here. That it gives us hope for a better future”.

Public discussion was organized within the project of Institute of World Politics “Strategic Discussion Club in Regions of Ukraine”, supported by the Norwegian government. This project is a continuation of a successful IWP project, during which in 2013 Kyiv hosted six meetings of the Strategic Discussion Club. The dramatic events in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine confirmed the need for continuation of regular public debates on issues of national security of Ukraine, including the greater involvement of regional experts. Six regional discussions were planned and Dnipropetrovsk became the fifth city where such a meeting took place. Over the past 9 months IWP organized meetings in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa and Mykolayiv.
