The annual youth forum “Aspire. Act. Change.” took place in Dnipro, bringing together active youth from various sectors — public administration, business, volunteering, and defense forces.
Participants of the forum discussed the key role of youth in driving societal change, shared experiences, and sought solutions to current challenges. Among the speakers were Deputy Mayor of Dnipro Andrii Denysenko, who emphasized the importance of youth initiatives; Volodymyr Dehtiariov, officer of the Information and Communication Department of the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine and member of the youth movement “Khartia,” who highlighted the significance of youth cooperation with the military; and Bohdan Tochka, co-owner of the company “Mova,” who spoke about the challenges of entrepreneurship in today’s conditions.
After the speeches, cadets worked in teams, where they presented their own ideas, developed proposals, and analyzed the needs of local communities. Participation in the forum contributed to the development of cadets’ leadership skills, deepened their understanding of social processes, and helped shape an active civic position essential for their future service.
In addition, DSUIA cadets received laureate diplomas for participating in the “Active Youth of Dnipro” contest. In the nomination “Dnipro Youth Impress,” a diploma for active volunteer work was awarded to Artur Vilisov.
