We Build Communities

In community lies the power that helps us understand, support, and act together.

How we build community

Over a year ago, we co-founded two communities important to us — "Bagattya" (a community of civic activists and organizations in Odesa region) and "Na Chasi" (a community space). We brought together people of different ages – from youth to older generations – and focused on developing civic engagement, education, and interaction.

Community gathering

Safe space for everyone

Participants feel trust, respect, and acceptance regardless of experience, status, or views.

Equality in dialogue

There are no "better" or "leaders" here — every opinion matters, every voice is important.

Presence and sincerity

We practice attentive listening, sincere responses, and empathy — the foundation of genuine connection between people.

Mutual support and solidarity

Communities are not just about conversations, but about readiness to help, lend a shoulder, and act together.

Simplicity and accessibility

Anyone can join — no special knowledge needed, just the desire to be part of it.

Ease and informality

All meetings take place in a friendly atmosphere — without pressure, demands, or "mandatory roles".

Power of shared experience

It's the gathering around common themes, experiences, and reflections that creates a real sense of community.

Creating a culture of trust

We create an environment where you can be yourself, share vulnerably, and remain heard.

Without judgment or fear — about war, loss, changes, hopes, shared future.

Find Like-Minded People

People with whom you can create initiatives, projects, or just keep in touch.

Be Part of Change

Even small participation in the community is already a contribution to developing trust and dialogue.
