This conference is the final result of the implementation of the project "Strengthening intersectoral cooperation through social cohesion", which is co-financed by the European Union and the British Council and implemented by the British Council together with three experienced national partners: NGO "Strong Community", NGO "Youth Platform" and the Kherson Regional Charity Fund "UNION". The project "Strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation for social cohesion" is implemented within the framework of the British Council's "Active Citizens" program.

Within the scope of the project, we held 24 regional and 13 local pitchings, and supported more than 300 social action projects. In addition, we conducted several trainings for facilitators, who then shared their knowledge and skills through local trainings on the implementation of social action projects in their communities.

Also, during the project, we created three online courses on the topics of project design, management, and social cohesion.
