Identity isn't formed in lectures. It appears when a person feels: this is my city, my community — and I can make a change in them. It is precisely this idea on which is based the new "Zaporizhzhia Circle" program — an ecosystem where young people’s national and local identities are shaped through shared actions, experience, and interaction.
The name is no coincidence. The "circle" is a significant tradition in Ukrainian culture. It represents a space where there are no "primary" or "secondary" figures — a space where collective decision-making, mutual responsibility, and a sense of solidarity matter most. Today, we are reimagining this concept for modern youth. Participants do more than just attend events; they propose ideas, create projects, and see the tangible results of their work.
We will soon open registration for young people who are ready to dream, unite, and change alongside us.
Perhaps the story of the "Zaporizhzhia Circle" will begin with you... 🙌
