Last night members and guests of Rotary Club Kyiv International Business, all being fully vaccinated, attended our first in 2022 offline meeting - in our traditional Tuesday meeting venue #Radisson Blu Hotel.

#RCKIBTuesdayMeeting - November 9, 2021
Last night members and guests of Rotary Club Kyiv International Business, all being fully vaccinated, met again at Radisson Blu Hotel.
Among the truly delightful moments of the evening were the pinning of our new member Sergiy Benedysyuk and the presentation by our guest Yuriy Tokarski on Junior Achievement (JA).
JA Europe, Europe’s largest provider of education programmes for Entrepreneurship, Work Readiness and Financial Literacy for young people, recently launched JA Ukraine.
It was indeed inspiring to hear how quickly the JA Company Programm, which offers students the opportunity to learn how to move a business idea from concept to reality and supports development of key competences for lifelong learning, was well-received in Ukraine, and how actively teachers and business volunteers commit themselves to make it grow in the best way.
Traditionally, the official part was followed by the cordial get-together with a little buffet and beverages, leaving room for a thought on lifechanging cooperations.
