Overall targets
The main purpose of the project is to establish a Democracy Hub in Kyiv as a space to promote democracy amongst Ukrainian youth and to inspire the future leaders of the country. The Hub aims to improve youth interests in society, politics, democracy, independent media, human rights, ecology, and to enhance youth leadership and active citizenship. The Hub will be a dynamic and democratic debate platform where youth can meet and excel in combining debating theory and practice from Greek rhetoric (Logos, Pathos, and Ethos) to Obama’s acceptance speech. The ambition of this project is motivated by the learning goals of the Danish public-school reform: ’Folkeskole skal udfordre alle elever, så de bliver så dygtige, de kan’’ (''The public school must challenge all students so that they become as skilled as they can ''), which we view as relevant to spread to our partner country for their benefit.
