The problem that brought them to UPSHIFT: low level of awareness among Mykolaiv residents about the history and culture of the city and the Mykolaiv region as a whole, insufficient number of educational events on this topic.

The solution found at UPSHIFT: the team created a new educational and cultural cluster about the history and culture of Mykolaiv, which effectively and topically informs young people. Upshifters held a series of offline events in the format of a "living library", involving cultural and public figures, and representatives of local authorities. The events, under the slogan "form your cultural portrait", highlighted the sacred centers of Mykolaiv, archaeological finds, art projects, the southern culture of traditional national clothing, and more.

During the implementation, the team registered its own youth public organization "Khvylyasty", which will continue to develop culture in Mykolaiv and create new opportunities for youth development.

The team is currently working on recording a podcast about history and creating a course on urban planning.
