Reports will be particularly valuable for groups of educators and youth workers that strive to promote positive youth development, foster life skills, build safe nurturing learning environments for healthy adolescent development and target at risk groups of youth including those directly affected by armed conflict in the east of Ukraine.

The current project is a collaboration between the Centre for Sustainable Peace and Democratic Development (SeeD) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Ukraine. It is a three-year project wherein the team implemented the adolescent adaptation of the Social Cohesion and Reconciliation Index (SCORE) in Ukraine. The Project aims to provide support to national youth development stakeholders in the following areas: (i) nurturing resilience in adolescents that have been directly influenced by the protracted armed conflict in eastern Ukraine; (ii) promoting high-quality, safe, and connected schools for healthy adolescent development; (iii) advocating for significance of life skills for personal empowerment, learning, employability and citizenship; and (iv) encouraging positive parent-adolescent relationships, especially in at-risk adolescents.
