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.
