More than 150 youth leaders from the entire region took part in the event.
On Saturday, June 24, the informal education forum #Не_формат was held in the Sheptytskyi UCU Center. It was held for the fourth time.
The main topic of this year’s forum is the analysis of the realities in which we live through the prism of psychology, volunteerism and culture. Its main goal was, together with the youth of Lviv region, to analyze the path we have taken as a society after the start of a full-scale war and to try to form an idea of what lies ahead, what is the place of youth in creating the future of Ukraine.
“Neformat is one of my favorite forums, as it unites a large number of like-minded people and friends from different parts of the Lviv region. In addition to the wonderful atmosphere, recreation areas and games to get to know each other, the organizers entertained with topical lectures and panel discussions. As they say, the first thing is always best remembered, that is why the lecture “Emotional Wars” by Volodymyr Stanchyshyn became especially memorable,” said Olena Heryak from Mykolaiv, a participant of the event.
The program of the forum consisted of 2 lectures and 3 panel discussions. Among the speakers who took part in the event: Volodymyr Stanchyshyn, Yaroslav Bulyshyn, Inna Jura, Kateryna Politytska, Anna Lozova, Stepan Kuybida, Max Ptashnyk, Max Chuhlib, Andriyan Zafiyovsky, Oleksandr Kuznetsov, Ulyana Kuntiy, Oleksandra Stasiuk. Each of them is successful in their field.
Pleasant gifts from the partners of the event have been prepared for the most active participants.
“After the full-scale invasion of Russian troops, we often ask each other the question ‘How are you?’ At the forum, we wanted each of the participants to honestly answer it for themselves, so to speak, to reflect with themselves about their well-being, emotions and impressions. Every emotion has the right to its own existence!” – noted the co-organizer of the forum Khrystyna Mokriy.
The organizers are convinced that the forum will be a good example for motivation and inspiration for participants to create their own ideas and projects in the future.
“#Не_формат is one of the most powerful events I’ve ever attended. Experienced speakers talked about important topics here. Everything was organized at the highest level, it was noticeable that the organizers worked on every detail of this event. And they succeeded! The atmosphere at the event was very cool. I am glad that I was able to become a part of such a wonderful team of volunteers, this is a really valuable experience,” noted forum volunteer Tetyana Hrabczak.
It should be noted that the organizers of the event are the public organization “Mediatoria” together with the Lviv Regional Youth Center with the support of the Youth and Sports Department of the Lviv Oblast.
