Education for sustainable development: transferring the experience оf the visegrad countries for the recovery of Ukraine

Abstract

The path of Ukraine towards European integration and the final break from the colonial past of the Soviet era have led to military aggression by Russia, intentionally destroying infrastructure and the environment of our country. Population migration, challenging material and psychological conditions, have a negative impact on the preparation of the future generation for life in a globalized world, the transmission of values, and cultural heritage. The Ukrainian part of the Carpathian region, where active cross-border cooperation between the EU and Eastern Europe is taking place, appears as an attractive platform for implementing educational and enlightening initiatives to adapt youth to new conditions and post-war reconstruction. The project "Education for sustainable development: transferring the experience of the Visegrad Group countries to the reconstruction of Ukraine" of the National Environmental Center of Ukraine (NECU) began its activities in September 2023.
