Our mission

To subjectivize Ukraine as a regional leader and a “soft” power, a trendsetter of democratic transformations in the New Europe, including the Balkans.

Our goals

To form Ukraine’s 2030 vision and assist the next generation of Ukrainian politicians in achieving it.
To fully prepare for NATO and EU membership by 2029, and to share this experience at the regional level.

These objects will be accomplished by implementing and promoting necessary reforms, fighting corruption, especially in the face of Ukrainian oligarchs, and countering russian aggression in its hybrid form.

Our activity

We hold high-level international events with the participation of People Deputies of Ukraine, European Parliament members, and US Congress members. 

We offer local project expertise, legal and advocacy consultations, and the sharing of knowledge, contacts, and experience.

We are preparing an analysis of state authorities’ activities to monitor Ukraine’s compliance with its obligations under the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement. 

80 deputies from 10 regions participated in our “Marathon with a Candidate” initiative, which aimed to support worthy regional leaders in local elections. 

We implement successful national and regional advocacy programs. 

We created a network of 30 partners from different regions of Ukraine.

We reached an audience of 400,000 on social media. 

We provide training to local deputies.

How the ecological crimes are documenting in Ukraine

Huge damage has been done to the Ukrainian environment by the war and it continues to get worse. The consequences have not yet been assessed, but it is already clear that they are staggering.
