The Forum served as a platform for new partnerships, open discussions, and solution-oriented thinking for the future. One of the participants and a partner of our organization, Halyna Dmytrenko, shared:
“These were days of inspiring speeches, creativity, and networking. Our strength lies in people – inspired, dedicated, and creative individuals. After such events, my heart is filled with pride knowing we are a powerful team together.”
We thank the organizers for this incredible opportunity and all the participants whose energy and ideas make this platform a catalyst for change. Once again, the Forum demonstrated that civil society is a pillar that helps us stand strong, even in the most challenging times.
