#SHAPERSKYIV COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE STATE OF THE WORLD

Olha Stoliarchuk

Curator

It always seems impossible until its done. Nelson Mandela

Ukraine is the largest country in the Eastern Europe known for its picturesque landscape, amazing cuisine, fertile lands and growing economy.

After the recent event in 2014, Ukraine is reborn and is driven by the new Generation. This generation is called Millennials, they enter governmental institution, lead and organize NGOs, they implement reforms and try to solve the biggest obstacles Ukraine face starting from its independence. Millennials are the role models and change-makers of modern Ukraine. A lot of them have joined Kyiv Hub to make this world a better place to live.

I was privileged and honoured to be selected as a Curator for 2015-2016 and lead the team of 22 extraordinary minds for making a real contribution and impact to our community, for putting Ukraine on WEF’s global agenda, as well as for helping the international community to hear Ukraine’s voice. Update on our work through the 2015-2016 can see in this Annual Report. This wouldn’t have happened without support of my dream team, without non-stop hard work for 24/7 and continues efforts put by shapers from all Ukrainian Hubs.

Together we are strong. Let’s keep shaping.

Don’t miss the chance to Open, Discover, Experience Ukraine and visit GS Kyiv Hub.

2015/2016 became difficult, but crucial years for Ukraine.

Our country faced a number of internal and external challenges.

On one hand, for the first time in its modern history, country is dealing with the long-term hybrid war with Russia in the form of the “frozen conflict”. On the other hand, after 24 years of independence, new pro-Ukrainian elite started its fight for Ukraine on political arena, fight for reforms and against corruption, fight for the future of their children in their successful country. A lot of Ukrainians are currently “Improving the state of the world” through contribution to the development of their own country. Every single day Ukraine makes successful steps toward its development and comes closer to the deep integration in the global economic and political life.

I am very happy that members of the Global Shapers Kyiv Hub actively participate in the building of the new country: based on democratic values and the rule of law. Each shaper individually and within the hub, as a community, covers a whole range of possible activities – in social, political and business spheres.

I would like to express gratitude to the World Economic Forum and Global Shapers Community for the inspiration and motivation on our way of “Improving the state of the world”.

Projects

Global Dignity Day (21.10.2015)

Global Dignity Day takes place on the third Wednesday of October each year. It is carried out in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Americas. Thousands of volunteers act as guides and facilitators, leading the students in a conversation about dignity. The aim is to make the concept of dignity tangible and understandable for each and every student. Defining dignity in their own words and sharing stories from their own lives gives students ownership of the concept. GS Kyiv Hub Team conducted a Global Dignity Day in Kyiv for young leaders in the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, for Youth Global Initiative in the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the Parliament and for 8 grade pupils in Kyiv Gymnasium No.117.

Research on Global Shaper’s influence in Ukraine and youth activism GS Kyiv Hub together with TheRespo conducted a survey for hearing the voice of active young people in big cities of Ukraine. The main purpose of the survey was to obtain information about (1) what interests active young people, (2) what obstacles they face and (3) how young people overcome them. Among other things, through the survey we tried to find out how famous is the World Economic Forum (WEF) brand, as a platform for addressing global issues before the Leaders and Global Shapers. In particular, we wanted to know whether Ukrainians believe in the WEF and GS as in players solving global and local problems, as well as if they are ready to join these organizations. Full version is available upon the link here.

Shape Ukraine

Some interesting topics considered the questions - why the presence of young people in state affairs is still low, what are the main challenges and how to tackle them. One thing became clear is that we start the movement in the right direction and hopefully from now on the younger generation will be more and more involved in building the better country of tomorrow.
