MODULE 2 for the second enrolment of the global project "Community Recovery Academy" is under way.

The main focus of the module "Economic Modelling, Recovery of Cities and Territories" is on shaping the community’s vision, searching for new ways of development, creating a 3-5 year development strategy, and planning spatial development.

Let us recap the previous 1.5 months of productive work. 
The second training course of the Community Recovery Academy brings together 120 recovery managers from 17 regions of Ukraine. 

Among them are representatives of communities that are under temporary occupation, have been de-occupied, or have been seriously affected by hostilities. During the first module, participants explored the topic "Strategy for the Community: Capacity Analysis and Development Planning" The module programme helps participants understand how to analyse their community’s capacity, formulate a vision for its future, and build a systematic development strategy based on real data and needs of residents. The participants received practical strategic planning tools, learned about modern approaches to urban planning, spatial development, architectural planning, and international experience in rebuilding cities after wars and crises.

The Academy's lecturers include both leading Ukrainian experts and international specialists, thanks to whom the curriculum covers a wide range of knowledge and experience. An important part of the training is cooperation with the team of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, one of Ukraine's leading educational institutions. The trainees have a unique opportunity to receive individual consultations, analytical advice, and feedback from NAUKMA lectures and experts. This allows them to transform theoretical knowledge into concrete solutions for their own communities and strengthen their team's ability to work with a strategic vision.

The Community Recovery Academy creates not only an educational space but also an environment for cooperation, exchange of experience and emergence of joint decisions that will contribute to recovery and sustainable development of Ukrainian territories.
