DESCRIPTION:Reality Check: A Journey Through Ukraine \n\n\n\nWe invite you to a unique journey that will reveal the reality of life in Ukraine beyond the headlines. This is not just a trip — it’s an opportunity to experience what it means to live through constant challenges. \n\n\n\nDuring the journey\, we will visit two cities — Lviv and Kyiv\, witness the aftermath of russian aggression\, see how volunteerism is developing\, and discover what drives Ukrainian youth today. \n\n\n\nThis journey will reshape your perception of Ukraine\, revealing its vivid contrasts: bravery\, resilience\, and the drive for freedom.  \n\n\n\n📆 November 5-9 \n\n\n\nMaximum number of participants: 15 \n\n\n\nJoin us in exploring Ukraine and experiencing its heart ❤️ \n\n\n\nPROGRAM \n\n\n\nDay 1: Lviv\, Story of the Past \n\n\n\nThe first day begins with an introduction to Lviv — a city rich in history. In addition to the most fascinating tourist spots\, we dive into places where history intertwines with present-day realities. You’ll visit sites of missile strikes\, a modular town housing internally displaced people who fled the war\, and together we’ll help weave camouflage nets for Ukrainian defenders. The day will conclude with an evening program in the city center. \n\n\n\nDay 2: Lviv\, Glimpse into the Future \n\n\n\nOn the second day\, you’ll get a glimpse into the future of a country rebuilding from destruction. A visit to the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken will show how people are being helped back to life. You’ll also explore Urban Camp — this is a community center and housing for internally displaced families in Lviv. We’ll conclude with a reflection session over pizza\, followed by an evening program. Night transfer by train to Kyiv. \n\n\n\nDay 3: Kyiv\, The capital of steadfast \n\n\n\nIn the morning\, we will be greeted by the capital of Ukraine — Kyiv. Today\, we will have a city tour\, visit the revitalized space of Unit City\, and meet local residents whose homes were affected by missile strikes. After exploring cultural and historical points\, we’ll end the evening with a relaxed dinner and free time for reflection. \n\n\n\nDay 4: Bucha\, the scars of war \n\n\n\nToday we’ll travel to Bucha\, a town near Kyiv that endured russian occupation. There\, you’ll witness the scars of destruction and see how the town is rebuilding today. We’ll also take part in a volunteer initiative. The day will conclude with dinner and an evening program back in Kyiv\, offering a chance to relax and reflect. \n\n\n\nDay 5: Kyiv\, Hugs and Kisses \n\n\n\nOur final day in Kyiv\, a walk through interesting locations and saying goodbye to new meetings somewhere in Europe. \n\n\n\nAccomodation: \n\n\n\nThere will be 2 hostels\, where you’ll live (one in Lviv and one in Kyiv).
