On August 22, an unusual event took place in Dnipro, bringing together young people from the Volnovakha district, representatives of local authorities, and the Department of Family, Youth, and Mass Events of National Patriotic Education of the Donetsk Regional State Administration. As part of the All-Ukrainian Youth Week, the event “Your Time – Your Voice” was held, which became a real platform for open dialogue and shaping the future. It was a meeting that proved that even in forced evacuation, the youth of Volnovakha do not lose their optimism, but on the contrary, turn challenges into opportunities.
The young people who took part in the event demonstrated incredible resilience. Despite all the difficulties, they did not give up. On the contrary, they continue to create, develop cultural and educational projects, organize leisure activities, and support each other. This initiative demonstrates a deep belief in themselves and their community, a willingness to take responsibility for their lives and their future. They showed that strength of spirit does not depend on location; it lives in people's hearts.
One of the most interesting moments of the meeting was the work on the “Map of the Future.” The participants did not just dream, they outlined specific visions for the development of their district after Victory. These were not abstract ideas, but real projects based on the needs of the community. This initiative is a vivid example of how young people can be active participants in the reconstruction of the country, not just observers. They are already thinking about how to make Volnovakha better, and that deserves respect.
The meeting ended on a positive note: with a group photo, gifts, and warm conversation. These seemingly small details are of great importance. They emphasize that the youth of the Volnovakha district are not just a group of people, but a united, strong team working toward a common future.
