How to resist Kremlin’s
propaganda in the world? How to use diaspora’s potential, capital, resources
and contacts to support Ukraine on the stage of reforms and country’s
international image formation? What must be done for the countries where
Ukrainian communities live to know more about Ukraine: its culture, tourist
potential, investment opportunities etc.? All these questions were discussed by
the participants of II Global Ukrainians Forum held in Kyiv Mohyla Business
School on October, 31.
The Forum was organized
by international non-profit organization Global Ukraine, a network of young,
active and well-educated Ukrainian expat leaders who live in USA, Canada,
Australia, Japan, EU, Asia and Arab countries.
‘Maidan and the war showed a huge potential of new young Ukrainian
leaders and movements abroad who can think over and suggest a sustainable
strategy and new mechanisms for development of national and cultural diplomacy’, – Violeta Moskalu, a founder of Global Ukraine Foundation and the
Forum co-founder, mentioned. – ‘Forum
Global Ukrainians was initiated to start systematic and effective cooperation
between communities and volunteers movements of Ukrainian diaspora worldwide’.
