A “Youth Changes The Future” Training Session Was Held In Chernivtsi As Part Of The DP5YOU Project (12.06.2026, Chernivtsi)
On June 12, the “Youth Changes the Future” training session for young people took place at the “Unity” Dome in Chernivtsi. The event was organized as part of the project “Digital Platform of Knowledge and Skills Development for Youth Working with Child Migrants and Refugees at European Level” (DP5YOU), which is co-funded by the European Union.
The training was organized by the Family and Youth Affairs Office of the Social Policy Department of the Chernivtsi City Council and the non-governmental organization “YOUTH. SCIENCE. SPORTS. HEALTHY MOVEMENT OF UKRAINE”.
The event began with a presentation of the DP5YOU project. The presentation outlined the project’s goals, main directions, and importance, while emphasizing its relevance for today’s youth, especially in the current context.
Special attention was paid to the opportunities the project offers young people, including the development of personal and professional skills, increased engagement, the acquisition of key competencies, and participation in socially beneficial activities. Participants were also shown how to register on the DP5YOU digital platform, familiarize themselves with its structure, learning materials, and opportunities for further training.
During the practical part of the training, attention was focused on European values, the importance of active citizenship, teamwork, communication, responsibility, and the development of skills necessary for today’s youth.
A distinctive feature of the training was the use of an interactive online format, which allowed participants to answer questions, participate in discussions, and immediately see the results of their own responses. This approach facilitated the active engagement of young people in the learning process, the development of critical thinking, the exchange of ideas, and better retention of the material.
The training was attended by over 30 representatives of active youth who are eager to develop, discover new opportunities, participate in socially important initiatives, and influence the future of their community. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the main directions of the DP5YOU project, its goals, objectives, and opportunities for young people.
During the event, the importance of youth participation, the development of leadership skills, social engagement, and responsibility was emphasized. Special attention was paid to European opportunities for youth, particularly participation in international projects, non-formal education, intercultural cooperation, and the development of competencies that are essential for young people’s self-realization in modern society.
An important component of the event was informing participants about the opportunity to obtain the European-style Youthpass certificate, which confirms participation in international educational events and facilitates the recognition of acquired competencies.
The “Youth Changes the Future” training served as a space for communication, exchange of ideas, motivation, and inspiration. The event helped strengthen the role of young people as active participants in public life, capable of initiating and implementing positive changes in their communities.
Youth Changes the Future – and it is precisely through the activity, initiative, and engagement of young people that a strong, democratic, and European society is formed.
