On 20 October 2023, the last event of the project "Ukrainian Refugee Network on the territory of the Republic of Moldova" took place under the title "Strengthening the 12 network leaders: integration through social involvement."

The event was marked by an informal outing to the Museum of Nature in the "Codrii" Reserve in the village of Lozova, Straseni, where the participants had the opportunity not only to socialize, but also to relax and discover another tourist spot of our country. 

The project itself aims to ensure effective communication of refugees from Ukraine on the territory of the Republic of Moldova by facilitating access to relevant information provided by the authorities.

"Thanks to the continuation of the project "Ukrainian Refugee Network on the territory of the Republic of Moldova," we managed to expand the number of leaders from 5 to 12, women from different regions of Moldova: Chisinau, UTA Gagauzia, the region left of the Dniester, Balti, Cahul" said Diana Cibotaru, project coordinator. "The women developed leadership skills and gained knowledge in areas such as education, health, business, employment, etc., during the trainings conducted by AO "HELP."

Psychotherapist Angela Nicolaou guided this team building, highlighting the essence of strengthening the network and underlining the imperative of maintaining the long-term sustainability of the project.
