Europe Prykhystok supports children victims of the war in Ukraine in brokering innovative partnerships between local actors from Ukraine and Europe.

These are local-to-local institutional and operational partnerships between cities, Regions, agglomerations and civil society organizations, with children at the center.

By doing so, we develop a non centralized regional governance model of support to populations displaced by wars.

How we support

Europe Prykhystok constantly listens to the needs of local populations and develops actions together with them.

 

With a large network of local actors, we organize:

1. “Respite stays” outside Ukraine for children – 2 to 3 weeks.

 

2. “Transplanted classes”: children who have started their fourth consecutive school year in distance learning come to Europe with their teachers to the learn the Ukrainian curriculum in person – 3 to 4 weeks.

 

3. Support to youth and internally displaced people within Ukraine: renovation of collective living places and development of children and youth empowerment centers, especially in the areas that are the most affected by the war.

 

4. Development of local-to-local institutional and operational cooperation partnerships between Ukraine and Europe.

Testimonies

It was an incredible journey: museums, trips, performances - everything remained in my memory forever! But I believe that nothing can replace live communication. Meetings, evenings that we spent together with French peers will never be forgotten. I'm glad I have such wonderful friends!
