The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Ukraine, in partnership with the European Union and the governments of Canada and Sweden, has opened 30 Social Adaptation Spaces, UNDP announced on 30 October.
These facilities in Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Chernivtsi and Chernihiv oblasts will bring together community residents and help them to adapt to new life circumstances and the challenges of war. These spaces aim to create favourable conditions for reintegrating older people, internally displaced persons, and persons with disabilities into active society, and to ensure their socialisation.
The Social Adaptation Spaces are equipped with everything they need: modern furniture, computers, projectors, televisions, and tablets. Specialists will provide services in social skills training, psychological support, self-help group organisation and recreational activities.
By the end of the year, another Social Adaptation Space is scheduled to open in Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast.
