Deadline: 19-Nov-21
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will conduct a series of trainings “My history is my strength: creation as a means of psychological recovery” for Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) / OOS ex-combatants.
The participants of the trainings will have a unique opportunity to work with psychologist and cinematography expert Olga Onyshko and to master a unique method of storytelling, shooting their own video stories under her guidance. The author’s technique, which will be taught by the trainer, will help excombatants not only to master the basic skills of creating quality videos, but also to tell their own story, gradually freeing themselves from psychological stress.
The program is supported by twelve international partners: the European Union (EU), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the US Embassy in Ukraine, as well as the governments of Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden and Japan.
The trainings were organized by UNDP in partnership with the NGO Development Foundation within the framework of the United Nations Program for Reconstruction and Peacebuilding with the financial support of the European Union and the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
