Strategy / Development Areas
To implement our mission, —
i.e., to enable positive scenarios for Ukraine’s future,
— we have chosen the strategy of strengthening communities.
Why?
“A community comprises people united by common experience and values and interested in each other’s well-being”
Communities form horizontal ties and develop, nurture, and institutionalize the state. They empower civil society, increase its share, and enhance responsibility.
Communities facilitate and help change people’s habits and behavior much faster and better. They help cope with changes and add resilience.
Communities strengthen their members and form leaders/multi-leaders. They create a system of self-reliance as well as conditions for a better future.
Communities already have power — it just needs a push.
And we want to make it.
By supporting communities, we:
To do this, we work in three areas:
Uniting communities through reflection, self-awareness, and acceptance of unity in diversity. Exploring traditions to grow into the future based on a conscious past.
Traditions are about forming a community through ethos within a state. What unites a society tightens its roots and expands its identity.
Culture is a way of both becoming self-aware and representing communities. It is a basis for community “interpenetration» and dialogue.
We strive to rethink and return traditions to the daily practices of Ukrainians and support cultural projects that foster reflection and awareness of unique Ukrainian identity.
