Being a national delegate for Ship for World Youth Program is an important mission 12 Ukrainian representatives currently faced with. We still have 2 months to prepare everything for the long trip for learning new cultures and sharing about our beautiful and generous country Ukraine. It depends on us how will others understand what is Ukraine and who are the Ukrainians.
Ukraine is quite a big country – the biggest one in the whole Europe. Our delegates are residing in different corners of our country but for making great presentation we have met together in Kyiv (the capital of Ukraine) last weekend. We had a really tough schedule, cos we had to chose uniform, make photo session, prepare draft of national presentation.
Thanks to sport TM Peak all of us got trendy comfortable uniform for the trip which will highlight the Ukrainian Delegation among the other delegates. We will be bright! That’s all I can share for now regarding our outfit =D
Kyiv School of Photography kindly offered us a studio for photo shooting where we spent around 3 hours, but the main attraction for all the delegates was waiting us next day.
Rehearsal of national presentation started from group discussion where we tried to figure out the existing talents in the group. Well, we might be like, cos all of us has something to offer… actually, that’s why we are a team.
So, I think it’s high time to share who are in the Ukrainian National Delegation:
Wonderful tiny girl who is a strong personality Alisa Berezutska – representative of Kyiv City Administration. Her motivating and inspiring bio you could find here.
Super creative generator of ideas Andrew Dovgiy – a guy who is developing software and providing education. His bio.

What an amazing group of delegates, and all of you seem like a very energetic bunch. It is a pleasure to get to know all of them – everyone seems to have their own talents, strengths and personalities. That is probably what will make your group work together so well, and hope all of you will get to know each other well. Good luck with all the other rehearsals. Rehearsals can be fun as you can laugh at your mistakes and everyone can help you better yourself 🙂
Thank you so much ❤ We really believe that we could do our best to represent our country in the most creative and brightest way. Unfortunately, not everyone knows where is Ukraine and what`s it this country, so we have really important mission – to make Ukraine more visible on the global map =D At least for 250 people we are gonna meet on the Ship.
its a new journey to sail with 240 youth leaders coming from different countries…and this is the place for new beginning and to share the culture, friendship and on top of that you guys getting in to the SWY family…..
Congrats for all the Ukrain delegation members…this is the time to show your talents to entire worlds….wishing you all the very best…………………..
