We invite you to the opening of European Mobility Week 2025!

Last year, we held our first ‘Big Lesson on Accessibility’ — an event that brought together over 500 pupils and students from different parts of Ukraine. Together, we talked about equality, accessibility, and the importance of creating a barrier-free society.

In 2025, we are continuing this initiative and looking for new ambassadors to help spread the ideas of accessibility in their communities!

Together, we think without barriers. Together, we change the world!

The educational initiative ‘The Great Lesson on Accessibility’ is being implemented as part of the project ‘Network for Democracy: Building the Future with Tomorrow's European Leaders’ by the non-governmental organisation STAN and ActionAid in partnership with the non-governmental organisation Centre for Social Transformations TENET, Insight, Chernivtsi Association ‘Zahyst’ with the support of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This project is part of the ‘Young Ambassadors for Diversity’ programme. Any opinions expressed in this publication belong to the public organisation ‘STAN’ and do not necessarily reflect the views of ActionAid and/or the Danish government.

We are launching a programme to support children, young people and parents/carers by providing essential social services.

What services will we provide?

• Resilience – psychological support, skills development, training.

• Temporary respite for parents/carers and their children – to rest and recharge so they can continue to care for their children.

How to access the services?

We will prepare and publish detailed instructions in the near future. Stay tuned for updates.

We believe that access to quality social services makes communities stronger, so join this project and strengthen your own capacity!

The project is implemented by the Chernivtsi Association ‘Zahyst’ with the support of the UK Government

within the framework of the Social Protection for Inclusion, Resilience, Innovation and Transformation (SPIRIT) Project, implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine, the Social Protection Fund for Persons with Disabilities and UNICEF Ukraine, administered by ISAR Unity.

The city comes alive when spaces become friendly to people, not just cars. On this day, we will temporarily reorganise the pavement space at the intersection of Universytetska and Hryhoriya Skovorody streets.

It will be a day to:

🟡 experience what accessibility/inaccessibility in the city means;

🟡 learn useful skills that can save lives;

🟡 ride together through the streets and see the city from a different perspective;

🟡 enjoy music, atmosphere and new acquaintances on a warm weekend day.
