In their speeches, they talked about the preparation and development of “The Bila Tserkva City Development Strategy 2025”. How they defined the top priorities of the city and the importance of active community participation in the development of such documents. Each of the speakers told about their role and their aspirations in the development of strategy, not bypassing the challenges and difficulties that arose in the course of writing it. Seeing the interest of participants in the subject was very pleasing.
