We encourage youth to drive positive changes in their communities, organize exchange visits, conduct capacity-building training, and provide grants to young leaders for implementing community initiatives. To foster collaboration and coordinate efforts for recovery, particularly in youth and economic development, we have held a national youth forum and dozens of roundtable discussions at the community and regional levels. If you want to improve something in your community, raise awareness about a social issue, or influence decision-making but don’t know where to start – check out our short course on advocacy basics. Tetiana Durnieva, Chair of the Board of Civic Holding "GROUP OF INFLUENCE", shares her experience running successful advocacy campaigns. Watch, gain confidence, and start changing the world around you.
