Tony Blair to speak at the Annual Youth Forum of Zavtra.UA and WorldWideStudies, educational programs of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation

On June 17 Tony Blair, former Prime Minister (1997-2007) of the United Kingdom, Founder and Patron of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, will speak at the Annual Youth Forum organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation in Kyiv. The annual event will gather more than 300 students from all over Ukraine, including winners and alumni of the foundation’s educational programs: the nationwide scholarship program Zavtra.UA and the educational program WorldWideStudies for Ukrainians to study at the world’s best universities.

Mr. Blair will speak about global challenges and will answer questions of the students on the current situation in Ukraine and worldwide.

Mr. Blair will also award this year’s grant recipients.

During the two-day forum of Zavtra.UA, the grant winners will gain practical skills and knowledge from leading Ukrainian experts, representatives of grant-giving organizations and civic activists on how the new generation can contribute to building a new Ukraine.

For 10 years the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has been consistently investing in educational projects, such as WorldWideStudies and Zavtra.UA. The aim has been to help create, over the years, a generation which has an excellent education and skills, as well as the experience of having been exposed to international best practices and ideas, or having lived in open democratic, modern societies. A generation which will think and feel differently and therefore be able to make a strong contribution to building a new country.
