The project was initiated by the NGO “Great Idea” and the Kovel City Center for Social Services for Children, Families, and Youth, together with a volunteer from the Peace Corps USA in Ukraine, Cassidy Crampton.

The training was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, experienced facilitators (trainers) conducted three training blocks corresponding to each topic. The next step involved participants preparing and presenting their own interesting articles and photographs about their hometown, Kovel, and its residents, which were later compiled into newspapers.

The project involved youth from Kovel, aged 16 to 20, who aimed to improve their civic engagement and leadership skills while developing journalism and photography skills.
