Platform for Social Change Joins the European Rural Youth Observatory
Platform for Social Change has officially become a member of the European Rural Youth Observatory (EURYO) — a research-oriented association dedicated to advancing the development of rural youth across Europe.
EURYO brings together researchers, scholars, representatives of the third sector, public service providers, youth workers, and rural young people themselves, fostering collaboration to address the challenges and opportunities facing rural communities.
Joining EURYO marks an important step in the international development of the Platform for Social Change. This partnership will enable the organization to:
- Integrate European best practices into the Ukrainian context, adapting them to the specific needs of local communities.
- Strengthen expertise in rural area development, based on the latest research and collaborative initiatives across Europe.
- Enhance impact on youth and community-led social entrepreneurship projects in rural regions of Ukraine.
“Our participation in the European Rural Youth Observatory will allow us to learn from leading European experiences, exchange knowledge, and apply innovative approaches in Ukraine’s rural development,” says Solomiia Boianovych, Managing Director of Platform for Social Change.
By joining this network, the Platform for Social Change reinforces its mission to create an environment where rural communities in Ukraine can thrive through education, investment, and mentorship, ensuring that local initiatives contribute to meaningful global change.
