Youth-run community clubs encourage Ukrainians to speak up

On Sundays, a group of 20 young people gather on the checkered carpet of a historic building in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Seated in a circle, they exchange greetings, smiles and stories. In this speaking club, everyone has the opportunity to have their voice heard.
The club was created by a group of young students from Kharkiv, who took part in the UPSHIFT youth innovation programme run by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and received support from the Norwegian Government.
Artur and his two ‘Cultural View’ teammates - Liza, and Anton - all study theatre and share a common dream of a modern, culturally-rich Kharkiv, free from stereotypes.
