Communication That Opens New Opportunities: Training for Veterans and Their Families in Chernivtsi

On August 7, 2025, at the Chernivtsi Regional Universal Scientific Library named after Mykhailo Ivasyuk, a valuable and inspiring training session titled "Effective Communication for Work and Business" was held for veterans and their family members.

The training was conducted by Nataliya Nechayeva-Yuriychuk and Nataliya Filyak — communication and team-building trainers, and members of the “Public Resources and Initiatives” Charity Foundation.

During the training, participants learned how to:

• Effectively present themselves and their ideas
• Practice persuasive communication skills
• Improve active listening and negotiation techniques

Throughout the event, participants received practical tools to help them better adapt in professional environments, grow their careers, or develop their own businesses.

The training activities are held within the framework of the project “Reintegration of War Veterans through the Creation of Educational Opportunities: Ours for Ours”, implemented by the “Public Resources and Initiatives” Charity Foundation in partnership with DVV International in Ukraine with the support of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.

Also within the project, a series of trainings is planned (participant recruitment will be announced later):

• how to obtain funding for your own startup,
• modern IT professions for veterans,
• finance for non-financiers,
• business Ukrainian language,
• project writing and management.

The project will last until February 2026 and includes not only educational activities but also psychological support, business grants, consultations, and integration events.
