Please Contact the Institute of Ecumenical Studies NEWSLETTER of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies of the Ukrainian Catholic University № 7 - December 2011 The 4th Ecumenical Social Week «Reforms through trust» was held in Lviv From September 27 to October 2 this year, the 4th Ecumenical Social Week (ESW), a Ukrainian social forum, was held. The theme of the event was "Reforms through trust.” It was attended by numerous experts from Ukraine and abroad. Relevant issues of reform were discussed during this year's Ecumenical Social Week and attention was focused on society’s participation in transformation. The forum was attended by experts from Great Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany and Ukraine. The organizers of the Week were: the Institute of Ecumenical Studies, the Ukrainian Catholic University, the Lviv City Council, the Lviv Regional Council and Administration, and Lviv Polytechnic National University. This year's forum was held with the support of the Solidarity Initiative of German Catholics with the People in Central and Eastern Europe Renovabis, the Bradley Foundation (the USA), and the Missionary Relief Association «Kerk in Actie» (the Netherlands), the organization "Communikantes" (the Netherlands), and others. During the major events of the ESW – a conference (September 29) and round tables (September 30) – participants discussed issues including reform as a way to European integration, trust in social relations in a period of social reforms, leadership, prospects for dialogue between government and society, church activities and science in socio-economic renewal, and the formation of civil society. In addition to conferences and round tables, a photo exhibition was organized on social topics. And on October 1 as part of the Ecumenical Social Week various social organizations were displayed. One of important events of the forum was an awards ceremony for the winners of the Second All-Ukrainian contest "Reporters of Hope in Ukraine." Participants of the Week had an opportunity to attend a concert of choral singing given by performers with special needs at the Church of the Holy Eucharist and a youth concert of Ukrainian music with the participation of Olena Kovtun, winner of the show "Ukraine’s got talent." The Saturday prayer Day of Trust, prepared together with the Taizé ecumenical Christian community (France), also was important in the week. At the end of the Day of Trust youth made an ecumenical picture on the topic of trust in God. The result of the discussions of the 4th Ecumenical Social Week was a resolution which includes the work of national and foreign experts with recommendations for improving welfare and social policy in Ukraine. "We are convinced that, at least partially, it will be implemented into life. We hope both the government and society will execute the decision," said Iryna Kitura, ESW coordinator. More detailed information on the site: http://www.esw.org.ua/ Seminar "The experience of NGOs and charity organizations working with children and youth with special needs" On September 28 a seminar was held "The experience of NGOs and charity organizations working with children and youth with special needs." Representatives of NGOs from Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Bilhorod-Dnistrovsk and other parts of Ukraine gathered for discussions. A round table was organized by the NGO Melody of Life and the charitable fund Association of Philanthropists of Ukraine . In addition to Ukrainian participants, guests from abroad also joined the discussions. Wieslaw Brodowski , president of the society Magnum Bonum in Poland, shared his experience of work with children and youth with special needs, and presented a system for financing such organizations. The seminar was attended by representatives of the civil authorities: Vasyl Kosiv , Deputy Mayor of Lviv, and Valery Piatak , Deputy Head of the Lviv Regional Council. In his speech, Valery Piatak said: "It is important to do charitable activities, but it is even more important to have a working system. Friends from Poland demonstrated how this system works in their place." http://www.esw.org.ua/NOVINI-EST/Blagodijni-organizaciyi-teper-ne-konkuruyut-a- spivpracyuyut The International Academic Conference «Reforms Through Trust» Began with Ecumenical Prayer On September 29, the academic conference of the Ecumenical Social Week opened with inter- confessional prayer that gathered representatives of the Christian confessions of Lviv. Participants in the ecumenical prayer : Bishop Venedykt (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church), Rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University Fr. Borys Gudziak (UGCC), Responsible for media in the Lviv Archdiocese Fr. Petro Buhryn (Roman Catholic Church), Bishop of the Christian Evangelical Church Vasyl Boyechko , Senior priest of the Lviv Cathedral Fr. Tadeos Gevorgyan (Armenian Apostolic Church), and Fr. Roman Fihas from the Institute of Ecumenical Studies (UGCC). Bishop Venedykt expressed his hope that such ecumenism would be fruitful and effective in society’s life. And Fr. Peter Buhryn (RCC) emphasized the importance of the motives which guided the organizers of the ecumenical prayer. "Christians` strength is in unity. Therefore, such ecumenical prayers truly witness that we, Christians, are a living organism directed to God." http://www.esw.org.ua/NOVINI-EST/Mizhnarodnu-konferenciyu-rozpochali-z-ekumenichnoyi- molitvi Marius Vismantas on «Reforms through trust» On September 29 in Lviv a conference was held "Reforms through trust." World Bank expert Marius Vismantas, Regional Program Coordinator in Financial and Private Sector Development for Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova, participated in the conference. According his words, «The government and the National Bank should be key players in promoting trust in financial reforms.» In his speech Marius Vismantas stressed that only the formation of transparency in the financial sector could increase the population’s trust. "Banks should be interested in educating their clients – it is the law of common sense in the world, therefore reforms should not be delayed, and the population’s trust must be increased by hard daily work." Participants in the conference: Rev. Daniel McDonald , Vice- Rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University and Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, who emphasized the affinity between the Church`s teaching and society`s social life and the importance of reform movements which require trust; Robert Brinkley, Marius Vismantas Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Ukraine (2002-2006), who compared the situation of trust in the states of Ukraine and the UK; Christine Menges-Le Pape, Professor of Toulouse University, in her speech noted that religion and law in society take radically opposite roles, but their cooperation is necessary for the realization of reforms. Fr. Borys Gudziak, Rector of the Ukrainian Catholic University, was among guests of the Academic Conference. He outlined his position on the vital issue of reforms in civil society: "The history of our country has been struck by ‘radiation,’ which destroys trust from an early age in the lives of each of us. This distrust itself destroys our political and business life. It is also present in human personal relations. Therefore, the search for trust is the most important task today.” Also speaking at the conference were: President of the Association for the Right to Economic Initiative (ADIE) from France Maria Nowak ; Head of the Lviv Regional Council Oleh Pankevych ; Director of the corporation HQS Consulting Servises (Supporting Organizations in Evolution) from Canada Lionel J. Quesnel ; Head of the Social Welfare Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and Rector of the state institution Luhansk Institute of Labor and Social Technologies Tetiana Shapovalova ; and Director of the Kyiv International Center for Prospective Research Vira Nanivska . http://www.esw.org.ua/NOVINI-EST/Akademichna-konferenciya The European experience of the development of the social market economy was presented by President of the Association for the Right to Economic Initiative ADIE from France Maria Nowak On September 30, British, French and Ukrainian experts discussed the topic "Reformation is the way to European integration" at a round table as part of the 4th Ecumenical Social Week. President of the French Association for the Right to Economic Initiative (ADIE) Maria Nowak concluded: "The Soviet way of solidarity and domination of private interests excluding the social interest are two sides of the same regime of dictatorship. The Ecumenical Social Week in Lviv is a right way to change society through peaceful means." Other participants in the round table: Robert Brinkley , Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Ukraine (2002- 2006); Antoine Arjakovsky , Co-Founder of the IES in Ukraine, Co-Director of the Department Society. Freedom. Peace at the Bernardine College in Paris (France); Fr. Iwan Dacko , Doctor of Theology, President of the Institute of Ecumenical Studies at UCU; Valeriy Pyatak , Deputy Head of the Regional Council.

Dies geschieht unter starker Be- teiligung der jungen Generation und nicht ohne innere und äußere Spannun- gen. Der kriegerische Konfl ikt im Osten des Landes ist derzeit weitgehend aus unseren Schlagzeilen verschwunden, hält aber noch immer an. Bis heute gibt es allein ca. 1,5 Millionen Binnenfl üchtlinge im Land. Um einen persönlichen Eindruck von der Situation des Landes gewinnen zu können, sind wir im Oktober 2016 gemeinsam mit Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren der katholischen Jugendarbeit, Jugendsozialarbeit und Jugend- pastoral in die Ukraine gereist. Ziel war es, mit jungen Ukrainerinnen und Ukrainern ins Gespräch zu kommen und den Dialog zwischen Verantwortlichen der Jugendarbeit beider Länder zu stärken. Insgesamt acht Tage haben wir in der Ukraine verbracht und sind dabei von Lviv über Ivano-Frankivsk nach Kiew gereist. Im Laufe des Besuches haben wir zahlreiche jugendpolitische, pastorale und sozialcaritative Projekte der kirchli- chen Jugendarbeit besucht, Initiativen im Bereich jugendlicher Binnenfl üchtlin- ge, Jugendarbeitslosigkeit, Arbeitsmigration, zivilgesellschaftliches Engage- ment kennengelernt und Gespräche zur heutigen politischen, sozialen und kirchlichen Situation des Landes geführt. Heute, fast ein Jahr später, sind zahlreiche Eindrücke und Erinnerungen geblie- ben.
