All teams will have six months to implement their ideas and report on their results in early August.

“Such training, and especially receiving a grant to implement an idea, is a great opportunity for young people, especially children of refugees and IDPs. They learn to develop important skills and implement their ideas for the benefit of the hromada. Thanks to grant support, participants can not only learn how to plan social projects but also implement them in practice.
