Youth Initiative: Sustainability and Innovation

Students from Odessa Lyceum No. 90, alongside their German language teacher, participated in an international youth project organized by the Institute for Virtual and Real Learning for Adults in Ulm (ILEU e.V.).

This project brought together young people from Ukraine, Germany, and Bulgaria to explore the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Starting in winter, participants worked online, investigating local initiatives in Odessa, Ulm, and Sofia, analyzing how global goals are implemented at the local level, and brainstorming ideas for positive changes in their cities.

The most active participants had the opportunity to meet in person in Ulm, which became a week filled with experiences, inspiration, new connections, and European dialogue.

Staying with host families, meeting with local officials, walking through historical streets, engaging in media technology workshops, and discussing the future of Europe became part of their shared story.

This trip represents trust, support, dialogue, new horizons, and the Europe we are building together from Odessa to Ulm.
