Charity Dialogues Workshop from Zagoriy Foundation and The Aspen Institute Kyiv

On September 3-4, 2021, an important workshop for the charitable sector Charity Dialogues was held by the Zagoriy Foundation and The Aspen Institute Kyiv. Its main goal is to create opportunities to discuss the development of philanthropic activities in Ukraine.

Ukrainian philanthropists and patrons took part in the workshop. We believe that dialogue will help introduce new approaches to understanding processes and come to an agreement. The more often philanthropists come together to find answers to today’s issues, the better we will understand how to respond to global and local challenges and develop charitable activities in Ukraine.
