Cultural orientation courses will be implemented through in-person sessions, remotely, and in hybrid formats.
The integration event “STRONG TOGETHER” will shape the perception of Ukrainian civilians of Latvia’s social processes, values, and communication models. Practical workshops will form the development of new frameworks and networks for collaboration between Latvian and Ukrainian residents, which will lead to sharing the experience of successful small businesses and identifying the potential for entrepreneurial initiatives.
