Society

The organization of societies in Europe, Ukraine, and Russia differs a lot. We can learn from positive and negative experiences of each other, and by that integrate Ukraine even more into the European community – the community of European values, human rights and rule of law, where civil society flourishes, NGOs have a loud say, solidarity is respected, charity is being shared and used properly, elections are fair and education matters. Diaspora plays a great role in transmitting this experience to their country of origin, and friends of Ukraine empower our country by supporting it informationally.
