Competition for HEIs To Launch/Update the Educational Discipline of Youth Policy and Youth Work

Objectives: The project aims to integrate youth policy into higher education institutions across Ukraine, fostering the development of specialists capable of creating and implementing effective youth policies at all hierarchical levels. In 2024, the 'Youth Platform' and UNICEF pioneered youth centers and a master's program in public management at Lutsk National Technical University. Continuing into 2025, this initiative will allow eight Ukrainian universities to strengthen or initiate elective courses in youth policy and work, supported through the development of curricula, teacher training, and the launch of these programs. The initiative also includes research grants for students and creates networking opportunities for participants in youth policy.
