Completion of the training cycle by “Responsible Citizens” and UNICEF
More than 500 social sector professionals from the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions have completed training as part of our project supported by UNICEF. The team at NGO “Responsible Citizens” developed a specialized program to provide professionals with practical tools for conflict resolution, psychological resilience support, and effective interaction with families experiencing crises.
We would like to highlight the training session in the Pokrovsk community, which brought together representatives from social services, the education sector, and the children’s affairs service. This was a comprehensive request from the entire community—they aimed to enhance teamwork skills and acquire effective mechanisms for resolving social conflicts.
“This was a fundamentally different format—working with real cases that professionals encounter in their daily work. We focused on providing prompt assistance in resolving conflicts that arise in the social sector,” said Olena Bieloliptseva, head of educational projects at NGO “Responsible Citizens.”
Special attention was given to supporting children’s affairs services. The training helped specialists better understand the behavioral patterns of children in crisis and establish effective communication with parents who welcome children into their families.
“We deeply analyzed the nature of conflicts, their development mechanisms, and transformation methods. This is critically important for the successful adaptation of children in new families,” emphasized Olena Bieloliptseva.
The completion of this stage is not just a milestone but a foundation for future change. We continue to work to ensure that social sector professionals receive the necessary support and have access to modern practices.
We sincerely thank every participant for their trust and dedication!
