3. Olha Stoliarchuk
Curator
It always seems impossible until its done.
Nelson Mandela
Ukraine is the largest country in the Eastern Europe known for
its picturesque landscape, amazing cuisine, fertile lands and
growing economy.
After the recent event in 2014, Ukraine is reborn and is driven
by the new Generation. This generation is called Millennials, they
enter governmental institution, lead and organize NGOs, they
implement reforms and try to solve the biggest obstacles Ukraine
face starting from its independence. Millennials are the role
models and change-makers of modern Ukraine. A lot of them have
joined Kyiv Hub to make this world a better place to live.
I was privileged and honoured to be selected as a Curator for
2015-2016 and lead the team of 22 extraordinary minds for
making a real contribution and impact to our community, for
putting Ukraine on WEF’s global agenda, as well as for helping the
international community to hear Ukraine’s voice. Update on our
work through the 2015-2016 can see in this Annual Report. This
wouldn’t have happened without support of my dream team,
without non-stop hard work for 24/7 and continues efforts put by
shapers from all Ukrainian Hubs.
Together we are strong. Let’s keep shaping.
Don’t miss the chance to Open, Discover, Experience Ukraine and
visit GS Kyiv Hub.
2015/2016 became difficult, but crucial years for Ukraine.
Our country faced a number of internal and external challenges.
On one hand, for the first time in its modern history, country is
dealing with the long-term hybrid war with Russia in the form of the
“frozen conflict”. On the other hand, after 24 years of independence,
new pro-Ukrainian elite started its fight for Ukraine on political arena,
fight for reforms and against corruption, fight for the future of their
children in their successful country. A lot of Ukrainians are currently
“Improving the state of the world” through contribution to the
development of their own country. Every single day Ukraine makes
successful steps toward its development and comes closer to the
deep integration in the global economic and political life.
I am very happy that members of the Global Shapers Kyiv Hub
actively participate in the building of the new country: based on
democratic values and the rule of law. Each shaper individually and
within the hub, as a community, covers a whole range of possible
activities – in social, political and business spheres.
I would like to express gratitude to the World Economic Forum
and Global Shapers Community for the inspiration and motivation
on our way of “Improving the state of the world”.
Volodymyr Vargola
Vice-Curator

4. Projects
Global Dignity Day (21.10.2015)
Global Dignity Day takes place on the third Wednesday of
October each year. It is carried out in the Middle East, Europe,
Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Americas. Thousands of volunteers
act as guides and facilitators, leading the students in a
conversation about dignity. The aim is to make the concept of
dignity tangible and understandable for each and every student.
Defining dignity in their own words and sharing stories from their
own lives gives students ownership of the concept.
GS Kyiv Hub Team conducted a Global Dignity Day in Kyiv for
young leaders in the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, for Youth
Global Initiative in the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the
Parliament and for 8 grade pupils in Kyiv Gymnasium No.117.
Research on Global Shaper’s influence in
Ukraine and youth activism
GS Kyiv Hub together with TheRespo conducted a survey for
hearing the voice of active young people in big cities of Ukraine.
The main purpose of the survey was to obtain information about
(1) what interests active young people, (2) what obstacles they
face and (3) how young people overcome them. Among other
things, through the survey we tried to find out how famous is the
World Economic Forum (WEF) brand, as a platform for
addressing global issues before the Leaders and Global
Shapers. In particular, we wanted to know whether Ukrainians
believe in the WEF and GS as in players solving global and local
problems, as well as if they are ready to join these organizations.
Full version is available upon the link here.

5. Shape Ukraine
Shape Ukraine is an initiative launched by Kyiv Hub’s and Odesa
Hub’s shapers aimed at developing new strategies, visions and
projects within the regions and all-Ukraine. Shape Ukraine
includes series of unique events, workshops, sessions for
strengthen the collaboration between Ukrainian shapers, as well
as it is a chance to discover local “flavour and taste” of each of
Hub’s cities.
This first strategy session hosted by GS Odesa Hub provided

issues with the regard of Hub’s activity, share expertise and
experience on projects, as well as to discuss joined initiatives.

6. Shaping Davos #ShapingTalent (21.01.2016)

Our guests on the debates were GS Kyiv Hub members and
alumni, experts and activists from the goverment area. The event
were broadcasted online and is available here.
Some interesting topics considered the questions - why the
presence of young people in state affairs is still low, what are the
main challenges and how to tackle them. One thing became clear
is that we start the movement in the right direction and hopefully
from now on the younger generation will be more and more
involved in building the better country of tomorrow.

children in Sarajevo in 1992-1995 and told about broader activities
