RUMB stands for Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus working together on common problems and common solutions in this region. Currently, our working group consists of young people from the RUMB region with different backgrounds: students, lawyers, engineers, education workers, etc. But the will to participate in green activism and thirst for changes are something we have in common. Therefore we are ready to apply our skills and knowledge to empower youth in our countries and make a first step for a better fair reality for all, despite the actual situation appears as it is.
To achieve this, first of all, we promote young people’s skills and capacities to participate actively in democratic practices, including local, national, and global, through conducting educational seminars, trainings and workshops. Additionally, our WG members work on brief research publications about current situation in RUMB countries with the aim to share the results among CDN member organisations and Green network as a whole.
If you are interested in the RUMB region in general or in ongoing topic of developing young local activism, this is the right group for you!
