What can bring communities together, foster a sense of teamwork, and inspire people to get moving? An exercise that seems ordinary at first glance—the plank. But when people hold it together, it becomes a symbol of strength, support, and unity.
To mark Youth Day, as part of the national project “Side by Side: United Communities,” the Kalchitska rural community held an online sports challenge called “The Plank of Unity,” which united communities around a common goal—to be strong together!
Joining the organizers in the challenge were the Turbiv settlement community in Vinnytsia Oblast, the Chyhyryn city community in Cherkasy Oblast, and the Mangush, Mykilsk, and Sartana settlement communities in Donetsk Oblast
Each community held its plank, passed the baton, and proved that when we stand shoulder to shoulder, we can do anything!
Thank you to every community for your participation, energy, and support! May this relay become yet another symbol of our unity, friendship, and resilience.
