The 18 participants shared observations drawn from first-hand experience to come to the conclusion that many of the organizations and institutions Participants of the UNA-sponsored workshop for community activity leaders held' recently at Soyuzivka. represented at the workshop had experienced "severe past, and they don't look ahead."
