On August 11, a series of events will take place at the Youth House in Kyiv aimed at encouraging active youth participation in decision-making and social changes. These events are organized in collaboration with the Ukrainian-Danish Youth House, UNDP in Ukraine, and the Council of Europe.
The program includes various thematic board games, presentations, and discussions. All activities provide opportunities for networking, exchanging experiences, and gaining insights into how youth can influence processes in educational institutions, communities, and at the national level.
Event Program for Youth Day:
1. Simulation Board Game “Year of Decisions”
The “Year of Decisions” game simulates a year of student self-governance. Participants will navigate from planning to decision-making, developing skills in resource management, teamwork, and engaging students in active participation. The game is created by UNDP in Ukraine and the NGO “ET CETERA.”
There will be two game sessions: from 14:00 to 16:00 and from 16:00 to 18:00. Spaces are limited.
2. Board Game “There's a Solution!”
This game was developed in collaboration with the Council of Europe’s project “Youth for Democracy in Ukraine: Phase III,” the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the Ukrainian Youth Councils Association based on the visions and needs of young people.
The session will start with a presentation about the resources and opportunities provided by the Council of Europe. Following this, the game will begin. Participants will explore youth-related policies, forms of participation, barriers, and ways to overcome them. They will also learn about the PZPM (Rights, Means, Space, Opportunities, Support) approach and how it relates to youth participation in decision-making in real life.
You can join the game from 15:30 to 17:30. Spaces are limited.
3. Open Event “Eurointegration and Youth Influence”
During this event, participants will learn how the European Union operates and the current stage of Ukraine's integration. They will meet with a Euromaidan activist, discuss the role of civic activism, and finish with a discussion about the influence tools available for youth. This meeting is organized by the Ukrainian-Danish Youth House as part of a series of events dedicated to Denmark's presidency in the EU Council.
The event will take place from 18:00 to 20:00.
