Inclusive parks in small communities

The goal og the project is to create inclusive green centers in communities to improve the institution of memory and culture in Ukrainian communities.

Mechanics:

• The first phase of the project will include public garbage and waste clean-ups, combined with an educational part of sorting and recycling in accordance with EU legislation.

• The second stage of the project will be to develop a community green plan, taking into account the importance of creating not only parks but also inclusive spaces in communities that will become a center of memory for Ukrainians about their culture, history, and heroes. For example, the trees planted will be named after prominent figures of Ukrainian history and culture, including the military, because the institution of honoring veterans needs to be built now.

• The third phase of the project will focus on barrier-free and inclusive environment, creating cultural spaces in the newly created parks and squares to make them a center of community life

This project is more relevant in Ukraine now than ever before, as green spaces and parks will help minimize the negative impact on the environment caused by the war and pollution caused by Russian aggression.

It also needs to become a center of cultural memory, because what is happening in Ukraine is a great story that is being written right now, and we need to create a public institution of honor, combining it with environmental restoration.
