Luhansk youth took part in the Youth Congress of the Carpathian Integration Initiative, which took place in Ivano-Frankivsk region.

For the Congress, such participation is an opportunity to represent the common needs of communities and establish a direct dialogue with representatives of other regions of Ukraine, government bodies, business, and international partners.

During the event, Congress representatives joined the discussion of regional economic development, investments, interregional cooperation, and international partnership, and also learned about the practices of other communities and countries of the Carpathian Eight.

"Recovery is not just about infrastructure, businesses, or investments. It is, first and foremost, about people who will create new businesses, jobs, and opportunities for community development. We want the youth of Luhansk Region to be not only part of the recovery process, but also an active participant in shaping the economy of the future," said Karina Ignatusha, chairwoman of the Luhansk Regional Youth Congress.

Special attention was paid to opportunities for youth entrepreneurship, access to international investment and educational opportunities, as well as partnerships between Ukrainian businesses and European companies.

Participation in such platforms corresponds to the practical tasks of the Congress - to represent the youth of communities, identify common needs, exchange experiences, and find opportunities for further cooperation.
