Students from 14 regions of Ukraine have come to Mariupol State University as a part of the “GOxChange” national youth exchange program. Within 10 days, guests will get acquainted with the city and its famous residents. There is also the development of socially significant projects in the plans.
The goal of “GoChange” is to change the ideas of young people about Ukrainian cities. Program participants will also develop leadership, project management and teamwork skills.
