The Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary is privileged to be one of the co-founders of the Diyalogue Public Union, which is dedicated to supporting social initiatives and fostering positive change in society through collaboration and meaningful dialogue.
The core mission of the Diyalogue Public Union, which was established law year, is to create a platform for interaction among various social groups, provide assistance to those in need, and promote community development and inclusivity.

One of our most pressing areas of focus is the adaptation and support of individuals who have acquired disabilities, particularly as a result of war.
Through the cooperation with the Diyalogue Public Union, we aim to help people with disabilities overcome barriers and fully integrate into all aspects of life. Our mission is to create opportunities for skill development, job placement, social engagement, and an overall improved quality of life. This project is built on the values of equality, mutual respect, and inclusivity.
Challenges We Face:
In Ukraine, over 2.7 million people live with disabilities, encountering physical, social, and economic obstacles every day. For example:
-
Only 30% of people with disabilities have stable employment.
-
Only 40% of urban environments are adapted to their needs.
We are launching this project to transform these statistics and create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to fully participate in society with dignity and confidence.
To achieve our goals, we are implementing several key programs:
-
Workshops and Seminars
-
Training Programs for Adaptation
-
Inclusive Spaces and Physical Training
-
Psychological Support
-
Production of Training Straps
Through these initiatives, we strive to create a society where every individual, regardless of their abilities, has the chance to thrive.
