International study visit to the Polish-Ukrainian border «PALIANYTSIA» Discovering resistance of the civil society in times of Russian Invasion in Ukraine

While the world becomes more and more distant to Ukraine, you will have a chance to be supporting the people of Ukraine closer to their home. Despite the ongoing Russia’s war against Ukraine, in large parts of the country, normal life continues. Normality is part of resilience, and it is being upheld by civil society.

Many civic initiatives are looking for answers to these burning questions: How can I stay active in the local community and be helpful ? How can scientists, historians, artists, and writer contribute? What traditions of civil resilience should we refer to? What can we learn from civil engagement in times
of war? How do young activists and leaders feel themselve on a border with Peace and War, in the Polish town of Przemyśl ? How has their life changed since February 2022?

We invite you to the international study visit in Przemyśl. While the world becomes more and more distant to Ukraine, you will have a chance to be supporting the people of Ukraine closer to their home. You will have the opportunity to find answers for all these questions and to learn how civil society stays resilient, creative, and upholds the spirit of confidence, empathy and hope. You will have the opportunity to learn how civil society stays resilient, creative, and upholds the spirit of confidence, empathy and hope. 

On August 23th a public discussion with the results of the project will be held and participants will have a chance to celebrate the Day of Independence of Ukraine with Ukrainian music.
