The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine invites you to a reading club meeting with Father Andriy Zelinsky

Duration 15:00-17:00

An opportunity to discuss freedom, dignity, and the formation of personal subjectivity using the book "Map" as an example

On March 20, 2026, the next meeting of the reading club will take place, organized by the Department of Information and Public Communications of the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Higher School of Public Administration in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the book "Map" by Father Andriy Zelinsky and debate personal and collective freedom, dignity, value consolidation, and the formation of personal subjectivity as a cornerstone of Ukrainian history.

To prepare for the discussion, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the book by Father Andriy Zelinsky. Knowledge of his previous works — “Seed Stars” and “Anatomy of a Warrior” — will be an additional advantage for active participation in the dialogue.

The meeting will be joined by the author himself — Fr. Andriy Zelinsky, a political scientist, writer, publicist, public figure, and chaplain. In 2014, he became the first military chaplain at the ATO headquarters. Currently, he heads the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Veterans Fund under the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, is a co-founder and lecturer at the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, and a lecturer at the Ethics-Politics-Economics program at the Ukrainian Catholic University.

Youth, civil servants, representatives of the public, business, and higher education institutions are invited to participate. Meeting format: offline at the ISAR Civil Society House "Unity" and online via the Zoom platform.

The meeting is held with the support of the project "EU4Youth: Engaging and Empowering Youth", which is co-financed by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and in cooperation with the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine and the Hanns Seidel Foundation.
