On March 19, 2025, in the student space of the library of the Lviv Polytechnic National University, as part of the implementation of the EU_LEAD project, an "Evening-acquaintance with European Youth Ambassadors" was held. The event was held jointly with representatives of the European Youth Ambassadors initiative, namely YEAs board member Anna Vetrova, ambassadors Daria Buria and Natalia Martynyshyn, who study at the Ukrainian Catholic University and Lviv Polytechnic National University. The event began with an interactive session to introduce students to the opportunities for volunteering, professional development and youth leadership within the YEAs program and to present the initiative's own experience. Of particular interest was the presentation "EU Youth Opportunities", during which YEAs ambassadors and Yulia Vaida (EU_LEAD project participant) spoke about current opportunities for young people from the European Union, including Erasmus+, Erasmus Mundus, studying at the College of Europe and others, acquainted the participants with the information resources of the initiative and encouraged them to actively develop themselves using the potential of YEAs. The students competed with their knowledge of the EU and the European Youth Ambassadors initiative during interactive educational games, namely the Kahoot quiz. The second part of the event was initiated by EU_LEAD participant Olha Ivasechko, where students depicted the European Union and its role in solving modern global problems in the form of their own original drawings.
The event was attended by students from Lviv Polytechnic National University and Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, who were actively interested in the selection criteria for participation in Erasmus+ academic mobility programmes and other EU initiatives. In total, 39 people joined the event.
The EU_LEAD project team expresses its gratitude to all the participants of the event, representatives of the European Youth Ambassadors initiative, for forming a youth networking event to spread knowledge about the EU and EU opportunities for young people in Ukraine.
