A workshop entitled “World Café: Dialogue Between Generations” was held in the Darivska community

How can we hear each other when there are so many challenges around us? How can we find common ground between teenagers, parents, and people who have found refuge in the community because of the war?

Recently, we held a workshop in the Darivska community in the format of a “World Café: Dialogue Between Generations” — an effective method of informal communication that helps create a safe space for dialogue where every voice is important and heard.

Why this event is important

Connecting generations. Teens shared their vision for the future of the community, while adults shared their experiences of resilience and support during tough times.

Integration of internally displaced persons. During conversations, participants broke down barriers and built new social ties, transforming “guests” into “neighbors.”

Resource environment. Participants sought common answers to the question: how to support each other and develop the community during times of change.

More than 30 people took part in the event. Thank you all for your sincerity, active discussions, and willingness to engage in dialogue. Together we are stronger!

Partnership and support

The project is being implemented in partnership with the Darivska Village Council

The project is funded with support from UK aid from the British Government (British Embassy Kyiv). It is implemented by Logistics Center for Community Development with the assistance of Caritas Ukraine within the framework of the National PULSE Consortium and coordinated by Right to Protection. Support for this project in Ukraine is provided through the SHARP component of the Humanitarian Assistance, Recovery and Protection Program.

As part of the “Inclusive Space for Everyone” project, an extremely important training session was held in the Darivska community — “Community Resilience: How to Overcome Stress Together.”

Psychologist Nadiya Stasyuk conducted a practical session focused on providing self-help skills to local residents and IDPs. In conditions of constant stress, the ability to “stabilize” oneself in a timely manner is vital.

What did the participants do?

• We studied breathing and grounding techniques to quickly overcome anxiety.
• We participated in practical exercises that helped us relax and improve our emotional state.
• We shared our experiences of supporting each other.

Result: In addition to new knowledge and high spirits, each participant will receive an information card specially designed based on the training results. It contains useful contact details for support services, which is critically important for people living in frontline areas.
