Natalia Peretiatko, Project Manager at NGO “NOVA Energia” (UNP WG3 member) participated in the event “Case Study on Local Development in Armenia”.
The purpose of the EaP countries’ exchange trip was to find best practices for inclusive and green post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
The working trip, which was a good start to get to know each other, facilitated a positive exchange of best practices and gave impetus to develop new ideas for planning the future work. These include youth hubs, social support centres, social business, innovative out-of-school education programs, infrastructure development, tourism, job creation, government-community interaction, post-earthquake reconstruction and more.
