The problem that brought them to UPSHIFT: insufficient level of national consciousness among the residents of the Odessa region

The solution found at UPSHIFT: the participants held a large film conference dedicated to Ukrainian cinema, history, and personalities. Here, the upshifters also presented their film “Chukhrayntsi”, which was based on the work of Ostap Vyshna. During the conference, the team collaborated with the “School of Leaders” group, schools in Chornomorsk, and other upshifter teams from the city.

The project also included an Instagram page, where the team told interesting facts about Ukrainian culture in the language of teenagers and debunked myths about the Odessa region.

“KOB3ARI” plans to further develop the page to popularize Ukrainian culture and hold new interesting events.
