Summer — for active and ambitious!
Winter — for the best and smart!
The government, on which big hopes were pinned, for 2 years not only hasn’t changed our country for the best, but has worsened our lives. It seems that we stay on the edge of a cliff and everything depends on what stupid thing politics will do today or what strange and foolish decisions they will make. And what about us, our country? We have a commonplace dead end of the course, towards which Ukraine is being pushed just with no reason. However, which way is right? People who believe in Ukraine as a member of top-20 will work on this question in the Carpathians at Bukovyna within the VIII Winter Studrespublika on the theme called Alternative courses of Ukraine. You are welcome! [+video]
For eight years the lucky participants of the Winter Studrespublika have met once a year in the picturesque Carpathian Mountains to work through different scenarios of Ukraine’s development. We always aimed the target – predictions we made were accurate, although very bold and unexpected for their time. But simply predicting future isn’t enough, we must create it. As the elites are not able to present a course, which is an alternative to war and impoverishment of everyone except themselves, citizens must do it with the help of progressive experts. You have a chance to visit such a unique event too. If you want to know how – read further.
Take part in a competition selection! (ukr)
Moving in circles and making same mistakes are connected with the absence of ideological discussions and debates of opinions in Ukraine. We are imposed of having no alternative to the current course of Ukraine, which is oriented on serious external dependence and further oligarchization. Responsible citizens should debunk this myth. Moreover, the escape from the statehood crisis is hidden in deep public debates on various options for the development of Ukraine.
Republicans never relax, every year we work for the common good of Ukrainian citizens, for united and prosperous Ukraine. We invite people who care about our future to join us in a charming area of the Carpathians at Bukovyna in order to work through the necessary alternative ways of development of Ukraine during the VIII Winter Studrespublika.
