On March 17, the spring semester of the TURBO project started in Lviv. The project is being implemented in the region by Lviv Polytechnic National University and the NGO "New Society of Ukraine". The professional retraining of IDPs is carried out in the field of “Social entrepreneurship in the field of social services”. The event was organized online. Participants were greeted by Veronika Vakulenko, project coordinator from NORD University, and Volodymyr Rubtsov, IFAS President. The project manager in Lviv, Associate Professor of the Department of Sociology and Social Work Tetiana Shapovalova spoke in detail about the program and all the activities that will take place during the semester, the format of training and participation in trainings and other events, and explained the organizational and technical issues for the participants. All the teachers of the current semester introduced themselves to the group and presented each of their teaching blocks. The project team also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the group's composition by region (where they moved from), age, field of study, etc. The organizers shared the results of the study with the group to provide a better understanding of the composition of the participants and to assure that the team would take into account the characteristics and interests of the participants as much as possible during the project implementation.
