What about young people in Lviv?
Instead of learning new things, exploring the world, making friends and having fun, young people in Lviv and all over Ukraine fight for their future with russians.
A lot of them lost their families, friends, homes, moved to other cities, became volunteers, doctors and soldiers. Many of them lost opportunities to study and work. They experienced too much, but did not give up.
Let us tell you a little bit about our good friends from TVORY.
This is a network of youth spaces in Lviv that unites young people and helps them go through all war challenges. Our story is not about buildings for youth, but about a real young community who helps its country during dark times.
TVORY consists of 3 spaces:
- Molodzivh Center - coworking for young people that also is a place for different training and seminars.
- Lviv Open Lab - a space of innovative education with scientific laboratories, coworking and lectures.
- Pixlab - hub for creating design and media.
All these locations created a community of young people with different interests but the same values. Community that helps Ukraine Armed Forces, works at humanitarian storages, organizes educational, motivational festivals and forums.
At weekends they gathered together to weave camouflage nets for military equipment, record podcasts with psychologists about how to survive the horrors of war and learn how to provide first aid. They organized meeting where talked with specialists about war crimes, volunteer work, mental health, psychological operations, post traumatic stress disorder, opportunities after the war, human trafficking, Ukraine's path to the EU, reconstruction plan, media literacy etc.
At the same time they organized a youth forum for 3000 participants with 30 activities, 24 speakers, and prepared an application for the contest for the European Volunteer Capital 2024.
Moreover, TVORY applied for European Youth Capital and won this title for 2025. Lviv plans to use the title to boost volunteering, skills development and employability among its young citizens.
Please, stop for a while and get acquainted with TVORY. Their team of specialists can be good speakers at your conferences. They can be nice partners to organize events in Lviv.
