Sharing our experience, talking about our work, and highlighting the changes we create together with young people are important parts of what we do.
On November 11, regional media outlet MistoSumy published a feature about DiieMolod, exploring the organization's journey, activities, and contribution to the development of youth initiatives in the Sumy region.
In our conversation with the journalists, we had the opportunity to share how our journey began — from our first youth initiatives to establishing our own civic organization. We also talked about our educational and volunteering projects and the values that guide our everyday work.
One of the most important things we wanted to communicate was our approach to youth development. We believe that our role goes beyond organizing events. We strive to create an environment where young people can gain knowledge, connect with like-minded people, receive support, and turn their own ideas into meaningful initiatives.
The article also highlights some of our projects, including Leader and Team: Synergy of Success and Over a Cup of Tea with a Hero, as well as a new stage in our organizational development — strengthening our institutional capacity with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation.
We also shared the progress we have made in this area, including the development of internal policies, strategic planning, team growth, and our commitment to sharing knowledge and experience with other civic organizations.
For us, this publication is not only an opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved but also a chance to highlight the importance of youth engagement, civic participation, and creating opportunities for young people, even in challenging circumstances.
We sincerely thank the MistoSumy team for their interest in our work, the meaningful conversation, and the opportunity to share our experience with a wider audience.
