Дія-Ти / Diya-Ty: Empowering Ukrainian Youth to be the Makers of their Future Cities

2022 - Ongoing
In collaboration with Lindsay Harkema 
Project supported by Independent Project Grant 2022 organized by the Architectural League and New York State Council on the Arts

Education, advocacy, community engagement“Дія-Ти” from Ukrainian translates as “to act” or “you are the action.

Дія-Ти / Diya-Ty initiative is a series of educational design workshops for Ukrainian youth. The design workshops are intended to inspire youth to develop creative thinking skills necessary for rebuilding Ukrainian cities during and after the war. We believe that learning design skills early in life can make young people feel capable of creating the built environment around them and empower them to imagine alternative futures that celebrate heritage and enable growth. These design skills can also help to develop problem-solving skills and creative thinking. Whether one chooses a design career path or not, we believe these skills will be essential to rebuilding Ukrainian cities into environments of care, cultural expression, and social vitality after the destruction of war.
