PROJECT: HOMECOMING: How Ukrainian Refugees and IDPs Can Help their Communities to Change for the Better

Skilled in project management and non-formal education, Alla recently found a new passion in studying best practices of city management and how they can be shared with local communities.

Alla joined the Cherkasy Urban Institute as a researcher in 2020, and since has been working on ideas for civic projects and how urban spaces might be efficiently transformed.  A key aspect of this work is the dialogue and cooperation between local authorities, business sector, communities, and experts.

Alla holds a Master degree in Law and History from the Cherkasy State University.

“It’s a great privilege for me to become a part of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Fellowship programme. For me personally it means professional growth, enhancing my communication and research skills. But more importantly it allows me to contribute to the bridge between academical knowledge and public benefit”. – Alla SKRYPNIK
