To begin with, they spoke about the action dedicated to Environment Day, which AMoRe together with ecology students of LDTU held last Saturday in the LPZ district around the small river Zhyduvka. Then the AMoRe leadership spoke about what the organization was doing throughout the past year.
Undoubtedly, the most time and effort was taken from the young reformers by the 2004 presidential elections. Members of the organization at all levels of the campaign, from work in the election headquarters to ordinary everyday campaigning, worked in Viktor Yushchenko's team. And this is understandable, because the position of the young reformers has been unchanged since 2000. AMoRe advocated for changes in the state and supported V. Yushchenko on this path.
In their free time from campaigning, AMoRe members also engaged in education. Within the framework of the all-Ukrainian campaign "I Know!" among the youth of the city of Lutsk as well as among employees of state institutions, informational leaflets were distributed calling for an active voter position and emphasizing the illegality of anyone's influence on a person's choice.
The organization also took an active position during the events of the "Orange Revolution." Rallies, the activities of strike committees, duty in tents, the organization of the maidan in the city of Lutsk, trips to Kyiv – this is what members of the "Association of Young Reformers" showed themselves at a high level in.
However, the organization marked its activity not only with pickets.
After the end of the elections, the "Association of Young Reformers" took up the implementation of the Ukrainian-Polish project "I Know What I Should Know; I Know How to Find Out About It; I Know Where I Will Find Out About It," within the framework of which a Public Information Center (PIC) was opened at the city executive committee of the city of Lutsk. Today the Center successfully operates, providing Lutsk residents with consultations on issues that concern the city community.
An important direction of the organization's activity has been and is work with the student environment. This direction of the organization's activity has always been a priority. In addition to the constant involvement of students in activities in the organization, conducting mobilization and educational events, AMoRe was engaged in the development of student self-government structures. Thus Serhiy Adamchuk, deputy chairman of AMoRe, was a participant in a working meeting of student representatives with Education Minister Nikolaenko on the role of student self-government in the process of developing higher education. Recent events related to the election of new heads of student trade unions of the two largest universities in the region lie in the same direction. Thus the head of the student trade union of LDTU became a member of AMoRe, former mayor of the tent city Yaroslav Yakymchuk. The student trade union of VDU was headed by AMoRe chairman Mykhailo Shelep. Given the importance of these forms of self-government for the upbringing and development of a full-fledged citizen, representatives of the "Association of Young Reformers" declare their readiness to take up the development of student trade unions. To this end, work has already begun on creating a kind of program for the revival of student trade unions, which will be implemented with the help of institutional support from AMoRe.
Thus, the organization has a new vision of its further activity and announces the beginning of a new stage. In a new state with new ideas. Therefore – "everything is just beginning!"
P.S. "Lutsk Investment" congratulates the Association of Young Reformers on its sixth anniversary and wishes it not to stop at what has been achieved!
