If there is any positive aspect of the current Covid-19 situation, if there are any at all, then one might say that the current #Stay@Home situation allows for accessing a vast pool of resources and guest speakers from all over the world since the camp is taking place virtually.
As a result, the participants of the counsellor-in-training camp, today 9 July were very fortunate to have the chance to listen to the President of the Ukrainian-Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko, Andriy Hladyshevsky, who implored on them the significance of leadership and volunteering, enriching at the same time one’s own life and the life of one’s community.
The next distinguished guest was the President of the World Executive of the Ukrainian Youth Association, Andriy Bihun from the USA, who informed the older participants about important projects and events on a worldwide scale and in particular, the founding of CYM in two new countries, Portugal and Spain.
