“An innovative grassroots project – how to make it happen”
Date: Thu, 16 May, 7-30PM
Venue: Balliol College, Massey Room
Andriy Maksymovych, an active NGO activist hailing from Lviv, Ukraine, comes to Oxford at an invitation of the Oxford Ukrainian Society to speak about the Race for Children, an innovative award-winning project he organised in 2006 inspired by his volunteer and student exchange experiences in Canada and the USA. Within the project, which became the first in the CIS nation-wide charitable marathon, Andriy ran with a friend 1,500 km across Ukraine in 41 days to promote social and corporate responsibility and raise more than 55,000 USD for equipment for maternity hospitals in his native region of Lviv. Endorsed by private and public sector, celebrities, Race for Children was recognised by multiple awards and was featured in the Best Practices of the Youth Policy in Ukraine.
In the lecture Andriy will share his experience of all aspects of project’s evolvement and organisation, team building, PR & fundraising strategy and logistics. He will speak about the challenges he and his team faced during the organisation of an innovative project in a developing country. He will also relate about his current work at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London.
Finally, Andriy will bring his Olympic Torch with him, so if you have not had a chance to see it during the Olympics – this is your chance!
