First Offsite Intensive of "Zminotvortsi": 70 participants from 20 villages

At the beginning of the summer, 70 teenagers from 20 villages and towns in 11 regions of Ukraine gathered for the first offsite intensive of "Zminotvortsi".

The participants were children who had completed at least one of the 12 available courses in the "Zminotvortsi" educational system. The intensive program was packed with activities that cannot be conducted online.

Together with our instructors, we explored what it means to take responsibility, modeled various forms of government, tried on different roles, became a tribe for an hour and fairly divided the hunted prey, tried our hands as engineers by designing whimsical structures, and even managed to celebrate two birthdays together.

We thank everyone who participated and the partners who supported this event: The European Endowment for Democracy (EED), Nova Ukraine, Nova Poshta, Kabanosy by "Dmytruk-Foods," MasloTom, Svitanok ("Galicia-Trade").
