The event starts at 18:00.

The urban studies course has been implemented by the public organization "STEM is FEM" for four months. 50 girls are studying the basics of urban planning and architecture in order to use the acquired knowledge to develop projects for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

During the project implementation, five public events were held with the participation of Ukrainian urbanist Oleksandr Shevchenko, an architect from Zurich Han van de Wetering, French artist Odile Decq, one of the world's 100 most influential urbanists Ellen Dunham-Jones (USA) and expert on ecological urban restoration Anna Gehringer (Germany).  

The urban studies course is being implemented within the framework of the USAID-funded program "Dream and Act", which is carried out by IREX in partnership with "Building Ukraine Together", the "Development of Corporate Social Responsibility" center (CSR Ukraine), "Making Cents International" (MCI), International Republican Institute (IRI) and "Zinc Network".

It should be recalled that on January 27-28, a practical online conference dedicated to the impact of war on educators will be held.
