In the last days of April, a useful and interesting seminar of the All-Ukrainian Women's Organization "Project Kesher for Western Ukraine" was held in the "Thiya" Community Center of the Khmelnytskyi Charitable Foundation "Hesed Besht". Women from Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Kamenets-Podolskyi, Shepetovka, Rivne, Uzhhorod, Mukachevo, Poltava and Starokonstantinov took part in it. The seminar was organized and conducted by the head of the department "Strengthening the social status of women" and the "Women's health" program of the Project Kesher VGEO Maryna Konstantinova and the regional representative of the Kesher Project VGEO Tatiana Woitaliuk.
"Project Kesher" is actively involved in programs aimed at the development of women as leaders, the provision of legal assistance, and focuses on women's health. The "Healthy Living Healthy" seminar vividly illustrated the integrity of the work being carried out. Here it was possible to get theoretical and practical knowledge on the preparation and implementation of campaigns, events and actions aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and preserving reproductive health. Consideration of the patient's rights and the resolution of legal issues in the field of health care were no less important issues. The participants of the seminar got acquainted with different methods of working with the target audience on the topic of health preservation. All topics of the seminar are enshrined in the certificate that each woman received upon its completion.
The great value of the knowledge obtained also lies in the method of presentation, namely, in live communication with a specialist. Specially invited competent guests were able to competently and succinctly present information on their topic and answer participants' questions. Cosmetologist Nataliya Levitskaya familiarized the audience not only with different types of cosmetic products, but also with methods of stabilizing the state of health with simple manual actions. Lyudmila Bartsikhovskaya, a doctor of the highest category, spoke about the most common female diseases between the ages of 30 and 70. Director of the Khmelnytskyi Charitable Foundation "Hesed Besht" Igor Ratushnyi welcomed the women in the walls of the "Thiya" OC and wished them productive work and success in the development of the organization.
But one of the most important positive factors, which is always present at the seminar from VJEO "Project Kesher", was a wonderful friendly atmosphere. "Friend of Kesher" is not only a trivial name of a colleague in the organization, but an honorary title filled with the appropriate meaning. That is why information at seminars and trainings is absorbed better, a good mood is doubled, and the effect of the time spent together is multiplied and serves to motivate other people in the future.
The culmination of the first day was the joint celebration of Shabbat. During the meal, the most active members of the women's movement received pleasant souvenirs from Maryna Konstantinova and Tatiana Voitaliuk. The evening was set to be warm and friendly to the accompaniment of Shabbat songs.
We hope that the knowledge gained at the training will contribute to the development of the women's movement and bring positive results to society. The positive influence of "Project Kesher" on the position of women is becoming more and more noticeable, and this is thanks to the activists who both organize and participate in similar events.
