Dear Readers, Participants and Friends:

When a society wants changes, it is only natural that citizens desire to express and deliver their ideas, suggestions, and needs to those in government, business, as well as to fellow citizens.

The fifteen years of the New Ukraine proved that the Nation of Ukraine possesses the desire, will and capability not only to realize her natural rights, such as the right to live, personal freedom and happinness, but also to seek and develop new ways of improving and organizing our society. 

The ACTIVIST project is a mechanizm for meaningful communication of its participants with decision makers in government, politics, and business, regarding the most pressing and imprtant contemporary challenges.
