#YouthCoucil under Dnipro Regional Administration is set for action!
👩⚖️👨⚖️ 33 diverse members representing youth-led NGOs, relocated communities and student parliament are gearing to boost the youth policy trough proposals to local budget and #youth initiatives.
With @UN_Ukraine, @charity_aos, and humanitarian partners, UNICEF delivered life-saving emergency supplies to families in frontline communities in the Donetsk region. @OCHA_Ukraine
Our emergency specialist @MariiaArtanova reports on the situation in these areas.
I was checking the mail while the car taking me to the URC suddenly stopped. We were in the middle of nowhere, near an unknown village. Turns out a funeral of the fallen soldier happened there, with a dozen locals coming to say goodbye.
Yet, poppies are blooming. Life goes on.
UNICEF's UPSHIFT programme, supported by @JapanGov, is building a community of young leaders with innovation skills to support Ukraine's recovery.
Ten new youth teams from Zaporizhzhia region joined UPSHIFT and will lead projects to support their communities. @UNICEFinnovate
Such a strong and symbolic performance by 🇺🇦 @thejerryheil and Alyona Alyona at #Eurovision2024 as russian forces continue aggressive attacks towards Strilecha, Krasne, Morokhovets, Oliinykove, Lukiantsi, Hatyshche, and Pletenivka. Same time, two very different worlds, indeed.
During tough times like war, safe spaces for youth to share their concerns and thoughts are vital for their mental health.
In #Kharkiv, students organized a peer-speaking club , supported by UNICEF's #UPSHIFT innovations program backed by @NorwayAmbUKR and @NorwayMFA.
Today once again I woke up to the sound of explosions in the middle of the night. Probably so did almost 60,000 children living in #Kharkiv city right now. Some of them came to @UNICEF_UA underground child-friendly space in the morning ☀️ as we continue providing psycho-social support #MHPSS on days like this 🫂
Flashbacks from the #24th of 2022 in #Kyiv — locked, focused and keeping doing what we have to. That’s how the #war for #Ukrainians began and that’s how we keep copying with.
Bewegend, wie heute in unserer gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz @BMZ_Bund und @UNICEFgermany die 16-jährige Mariia aus Krywyj Rih in der #Ukraine für ihre Generation spricht. Nach 2 Jahren Angst, Angriffen und Alarm fehlen das Miteinander, Sicherheit, und vor allem: Frieden.

Another bridge in Zhytomyr region is rebuilt with @u24_gov. The bridge connects 7 settlements of the community, which were liberated from Russian troops at the beginning of April 2022. It will help improve regional logistics and guarantee safe travel for residents.
#Youth is the key! Over 200 young people from #Dnipro, #Kharkiv and #Zaporizzhia gathered last week together to develop joint actions plans between youth and government for 2024.
While the war is still here, it is still the time for decision-makers to hear youth ⏰
