All-Ukrainian educational project EVERLEGAL & USAID/ENGAGE
All-Ukrainian educational project EVERLEGAL & USAID/ENGAGE
In the summer of 2023, EVERLEGAL and USAID/ENGAGE implemented an educational project aimed at providing legal support to civil society organizations (CSOs), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and Ukrainian citizens.
Project goal:
- Providing citizens, as well as national and local CSOs and SMEs, with knowledge about martial law and other regulatory changes introduced during the war
- Providing participants with practical advice on their life, work and volunteer activities under martial law and ways to properly address new challenges
Project result - in 3 months we have implemented:
- 12 events (4 offline, 8 online)
- Covered more than 20 relevant topics
- Involved more than 10 project partners in Ukraine
More than 100 organizations (CSOs) and companies (SMEs) received online legal support in different parts of Ukraine.
- 1753 participants (citizens, businesses and CSOs) joined online trainings
- We covered almost all major cities of Ukraine online. We were joined by people from all regions, which emphasized the relevance of the events and their necessity in the new realities
Innovation of the project:
- Reaching out to 3 categories of the population at once: citizens, businesses and CSOs
- Practical consideration of all topics
- Individual additional materials for each training: "Legal guides", contract templates, legal instructions, etc. that participants will be able to use in their activities in the future
- Extensive theoretical framework with all the changes during martial law
- Analysis of real problem cases of participants during the events
- Use of modern approaches to training, in particular: conducting interactive online quizzes in chatbots for preliminary assessment of participants' knowledge and analysis of problematic topics during trainings
In 3 months, EVERLEGAL & USAID/ENGAGE
were able to provide legal support to three extremely important categories of the population: citizens, SMEs, and CSOs - who suffered from the hostilities and need high-quality, comprehensive, and effective legal support during martial law.
