On November 5, the TURBO project's fall semester graduation ceremony was held in Lviv. The event was organized in a hybrid format. The project participants, people who were forced to leave their homes due to the war and seek opportunities to become part of new communities in the Lviv region, underwent professional retraining under the micro-accreditation educational program “Social Entrepreneurship in the Field of Social Services.” The educational program was developed and implemented by a team from Lviv Polytechnic National University. Support with social adaptation (psychological and legal adaptation, assistance in finding employment or starting a business) was provided by the NGO New Society of Ukraine.

Veronika Vakulenko, the project coordinator from the Norwegian side, took part in the event on behalf of NORD University. Olga Filina, project coordinator, attended the graduation on behalf of the IFSA.

In their speeches, the graduates expressed their gratitude to the university teams, the public organization, the coordinators, and the donor for their comprehensive and effective support during a difficult period. In their feedback, all participants emphasized the depth and breadth of the training program, the usefulness of the activities, and the combination of professionalism and human attitude on the part of teachers and trainers.

We sincerely wish the graduates confidence, strength, inspiration, success, and personal victories.
