Help keep the Ukrainian refugee center safe.

Since last March, Peace Winds Korea has been providing support to the Dvor project, a community support program in Moldova. We are excited to share the latest updates on this project.

What is the Dvor project
The Dvor project aims to identify local issues within the Moldovan community and empower Moldovan residents to address these problems, while also facilitating the integration of Ukrainian refugees into the Moldovan community. Through this project, participants seek to gain a deeper understanding of their neighborhoods and local residents, identify local challenges, and develop and implement effective solutions. It is also expected to foster increased interaction and engagement with refugees.

Taking steps towards establishing a Homeowners' Association
Based on a report prepared in early May, the participants voted to establish a Homeowners' Association. To support this initiative, they collaborated with various activists and the initiative group called Primaria Alternativea, which has relevant expertise, to organize educational sessions. These sessions took place on May 17th and 23rd.

Listening to the opinions of 159 individuals through local surveys!
To uncover the issues within their local neighborhoods, the participants collected the opinions of a total of 159 individuals. The survey included questions regarding the frequency of communication between Moldovan residents and their neighbors, perceptions of resident organizations, and the willingness to address community issues. The results indicated that Moldovan residents engage in regular communication with their neighbors and demonstrate a genuine interest in resolving challenges within their current living areas.

The Dvor project will continue until July! Stay tuned for more exciting developments!

Hello. This is Nuri Park from Peace Winds Korea.

Today, I would like to share news about the "Dvor" project, a support program for the Ukrainian refugee community currently being implemented in Moldova.

This project aims to encourage the participation of Ukrainian refugees in local communities, enhance their capacity for identifying and solving local issues, and it started on March 1st. Through this project, participants are expected to gain the ability to understand their neighborhoods and local residents, recognize local problems, devise and implement appropriate solutions, and gain more confidence in interacting with the local community.

According to the report prepared in early May, out of the 16 participating refugees, 5 of them conducted local research in their respective areas. Additionally, the participants planned to establish a Homeowners' Association and had the first educational session related to it, where they had discussions with experts. They also prepared other educational sessions on different topics and organized sessions to address difficulties encountered during field surveys.

The next report will include the results of the participants' research, the proposed community project ideas, the support provided for such processes, and capacity-building activities for the Homeowners' Association.

We kindly request your attention and interest in the Dvor project, which aims to assist the adaptation of Ukrainian refugees to local communities.

Best regards,
Nuri Park.
