The Association launches the KÜSK project “Development Leap”

The Association of Ukrainian Organisations in Estonia has launched the “Development Leap” (Arenguhüpe) project, supported by the National Foundation of Civil Society (KÜSK, SA Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital). The aim of the project is to draw up an action plan for the Association as an umbrella organisation uniting Ukrainian civil society organisations in Estonia that preserve the Ukrainian language, culture and traditions. The plan covers the next three years.

Within project AHE/2023/203, together with KÜSK, we will take a closer look at the Association’s development needs arising from the war in Ukraine and the wide-ranging assistance provided to Ukrainian war refugees who have arrived in Estonia.

In 2025, the Association will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Today it brings together both long-established and very young organisations representing different generations. Through the project, we want to assess the state of the Association in 2023 and define what cooperation between the Association and its member organisations should look like in 2025. Based on this analysis, which is already under way, we are drawing up a plan for preparing and implementing the project.

The project consists of two stages:

• a preparatory stage, for which KÜSK has already awarded a grant of 4,000 euros;
• an implementation stage, putting the plan into practice, provided the Association secures the necessary funding.

The “Development Leap” project (AHE/2023/203) is funded by the National Foundation of Civil Society (KÜSK).
