A round table "Youth Problems of Society and Ways to Solve Them" was held in Lutsk. Leaders of youth public organizations, student self-government bodies and student trade unions took part in the discussion.
According to Serhiy Adamchuk, head of the executive committee of the VO "Youth Union Our Ukraine", back in Soviet times a stereotype had formed that young people have everything ahead of them, so they will still have time to prove themselves in politics. Young people strive to be a partner, not an executor of orders of political parties; at present this statement is taken for granted and the position of young people is partially taken into account.
Mykhailo Shelep, head of the Student Trade Union of VDU - one of the largest universities in Volyn, noted that students are most concerned about the problems of housing provision and first employment, and the decline in the level of higher education due to the increase in enrollment for paid tuition at universities. Students say that excellent students of paid tuition should be supported.
Ihor Huz, a deputy of the Lutsk City Council, noted: young people need to be involved in governing the state, as is happening in Georgia, to conduct internships at executive authorities and self-government bodies for young activists of public organizations. Youth policy should cultivate a citizen-patriot and a citizen-professional.
