International Study Visit in Ukraine

Timeframe: 9-16 February 2019
The British Council is conducting a weeklong International Study Visit (ISV) with active citizens from different countries. The young active citizens will be visiting Ukraine to participate in a 5-day workshop and a 2-day community visit as part of the ‘Active Citizens’ program, which is a social leadership training program that promotes intercultural dialogue and community-led social development. The program will run in Ukraine from (9-16 February 2019) – with all expenses covered.
The activities are designed to bring together partners, facilitators and participants from diverse backgrounds around the world. During the program, participants will share insights and knowledge on how they are engaged in social activities in their own country and culture, the challenge they have been facing, and their accomplishments.
The key objective of the ISV is to increase understanding of the power of global networks engaged in social development. Through these events, like-minded individuals can network, share learning and understand the value of intercultural dialogue.
Active Citizens is a global program run by the British Council and its partners in over 30 countries. It promotes community cohesion and development through capacity building of young leaders for civic engagement and volunteering.
