This project will restore a cultural center in Shevchenkove village, Mykolaiv Oblast, which was heavily affected by hostilities, creating a safe and inclusive space for 3,000 residents to gather, learn, and rebuild community life. The center will support youth, families, and older people through engagement activities and vocational training such as sewing and handicrafts, helping residents reconnect and develop income-generating skills.
Shevchenkove has been heavily affected by hostilities since 2022, leaving infrastructure damaged and community life disrupted. As the central village currently lacks a functioning space for gatherings, services, and activities. The local Palace of Culture, once the main hub for education and social life, is now in poor condition and cannot be used effectively.Without a safe and accessible space, the community faces isolation, reduced learning oopportunities, and weakened social cohesion.
This project will restore and equip the Palace of Culture, creating a safe and accessible community space for 3,000 residents. The center will host activities for youth, families, and older people, including educational programs, social events, and community gatherings. It will also provide vocational training opportunities such as sewing, knitting, and handicrafts, helping residents develop practical skills and improve their livelihoods.
It will strengthen social cohesion, improve well-being, and reduce isolation by providing a safe environment for regular activities and engagement. Through vocational training opportunities, residents will gain skills that support income generation and adaptation to a changing labor market. Restored center will function as a sustainable hub for community life, enabling local residents to organize activities, support each other, and contribute to the recovery and development of the community.
