Conferences

Lifelong learning is a term that defines a professional today.

The principle of learning, developing, and, at the same time, helping others to do so has always been and will remain one of the main principles of the Committee.

Everyone who is active and willing to improve themselves in their professional field should have this opportunity, regardless of whether the person/organization has the money to pay for training.

Since 2012, we have been holding scientific and practical conferences every two years within the framework of the Parasolka Project together with the Parasolka partner organization (Switzerland). Speakers are the specialists from Ukraine and abroad. Everyone is invited to participate in the conference and practical seminars. Participation is always free. Within our budget, we try to offer participants food and accommodation during their studies. After all, parents with children or relatives with disabilities become often our participants. And for them, financial issues often make it impossible to access practical knowledge and new methods of work.

This September, the Committee together with Uzhhorod National University and the Parasolka Association is preparing to hold the 5th international conference within the framework of the Parasolka Project.
