IVO “SVIT-Ukraine” is also collecting harvest and summing up results of the year of volunteering: international summer projects in Ukraine took place, several projects with long-term volunteers; Ukrainian young people attended international volunteer projects in different countries of Europe. And it is also time for planning projects and cooperation for next year. That is why we are organizing our Oktoberfest – fair of volunteering!
