Yuliia Lykhach, Head of the High School, and Ihor Tridub, Head of the NGO Chystyi Arkush, signed a partnership and cooperation agreement.

The document envisages the implementation of joint projects, programmes and activities, including practical aspects of interagency cooperation and coordination of actors in the field of combating human trafficking, as well as the acquisition of communication skills by public servants to work with victims of human trafficking.

The parties pledged to combine their efforts to develop the necessary competencies of professionals working in this area, ensuring a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

The cooperation was preceded by the successful implementation of a general short-term programme ‘Mechanisms and Tools for Combating Human Trafficking’, with national experts on combating human trafficking from the NGO ‘’Chystyi Arkush‘’, Ihor Tridub and Valentyn Borovykov as trainers. In 2023-2024, 405 civil servants were trained under the programme.
