Students of the Institute of International Relations took part in the Voices of the Future Project, implemented by the Committee on Youth and Sports of the Youth Council under the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in partnership with the Cossack Guard of Ukraine NGO and the Society Development Academy, as well as with the support of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the Committee on Youth and Sports of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and other partners.

Among the representatives of our university's student body at the online session, which took place on 16 October 2025, were: Oleksandr Lyubchich, Maksym Nepochatykh, Serhii Dvoian, Bohdan Drobot, Polina Levina, Kateryna Kasich, Anastasia Sakalosh, Kateryna Polovko, and Danylo Dyakunchak.

The aim of the project is to identify the needs, attitudes, fears, and aspirations of today's Ukrainian youth, to explore their readiness for an active life position, work, and participation in public and state initiatives, as well as to assess their level of awareness in the field of youth policy.

Representatives of the Committee on Youth and Sports of the Youth Council under the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine were present on behalf of the organisers:

  • Oleksandr Chernysh – Chairman of the Committee and author of the project, Supreme Ataman of the NGO "Cossack Guard of Ukraine"; 
  • Bohdana Bukovey – Deputy Chairwoman of the Committee; 
  • Iryna Negriy – Member of the Committee; 
  • Andriy Sherepa – Expert of the Committee.

Our higher education institution is delighted to be part of this large-scale national project. That is why our team invited students to share their thoughts in an online session and take part in a survey.

We would like to thank the organisers for their interesting and socially useful initiatives, and the participants for their enthusiasm and willingness to get involved!
