Reinforced culture of cooperation 9 Three example projects/ learning mobilities Learning mobility by Voytyuk Tetyana,Dobropillya, Donetsk region, “Youth Cities Initiative” to Ivano-Frankivsk, 12-13 of September, NGO STAN I gained further experience in conducting creative master-classes ”for teens and received a feedback about the space I intended to create for them. Together with children and their parents we designed two cartoons about peace. They will be presented during the festival on the 21 st of September. Learning mobility by Oksana Potapova, Kyiv, “Theatre for dialogue” in Ivano-Frankivsk (Babyn), 5-10 June, NGO STAN, NGO DOM 4824 I established contacts with the organizations STAN and Dom4824 in ”order to implement further projects. 20 teenagers were involved in the programme of “Active citizens”. This brought me to the new ideas for further projects in the space of Khata-Maysternya. Learning mobility by Yuriy Trofimenko, Chernihiv, “AHALAR center” in Odessa, 25-27 August, Impact Hub Odessa From 25 th to 27 th of August I took part as a speaker in the project ”“Ideas Festival”, organised by Impact Hub Odessa. The three days I spent on the festival were full of exchange with colleagues and invitations to future cooperations. 10 Two quotes about the programme Viktoria Preobrazhenskaya, participant: Such projects are very important for Ukraine, they unite ”Ukrainians and, through the participation of profession- als from abroad, promote our country. Natalia Yeromenko, trainer and expert: UkraineLab is a platform that helps different players from different sectors and regions in Ukraine to ”synchronise. We can then understand what is going on, how to work with each other and how to work on new topiсs together. 11 Three main ideas for improvement 1To create a long-term strategy for the development and functioning of the UkraineLab network; 2To organise offline communication within the network, to support intensive exchange and information sharing with the long-term perspective; 3To pilot formats on the local level. 12 Final statement about the programme Olga Diatel, coordinator For me, UkraineLab has become a place where partnerships that promote professionalisation are born. Setting up new partnerships and networks is what society needs, what I need. Everyone under- stands the importance of synergies but UkraineLab has shown in practice that it strengthens us and gives us the opportunity to bring our everyday work up to a higher standard. Alona Karavai, coordinator UkraineLab is a safe space where you can talk about your mistakes, be yourself - and everyone respects it. 13 Organisational/institutional partners of the programme MitOst Insha Osvita Forum in Ivano-Frankivsk (September 2017): Promprylad.Renovation, Platform “Warm City”, Impact Hub Odessa, NGO Garage Gang, Wechange, 4impact Forum in Kherson (April 2017): Kherson City Counsil Forum in Berlin (September 2016): Kul’tura Agency, ZK/U – Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik, Impact Hub Berlin, Music band “5 vymir”, Kyiv Dialogue, Ukrainian Film club in Berlin, PRAVO Berlin Group for Human Rights in Ukraine, German-Ukrainian Academic Society / The UKRAINE Network, Reporters without borders, European Exchange, Ukraine Ambassy in Ukraine, Active YOUkraine, CRISP e.V., DRA 14 Locations: Poland, Ukraine, Belarus Neighbours 3.0 71 10 21 907 participants events implemented applicants initiatives 13 4 43 31 learning publications experts/key mentors mobilities issued in the speakers/trainers programme 6 long-term organisational/ institutional partnerships 15 The main goal of the programme Supporting individuals and teams in building trustful relationships within their communities and initiating sustainable actions for social change on local and international levels.
