URBAN CAMP by Urban Reforms

OVERVIEW: Center of internally displaced Ukrainians and the development of street cultures in Lviv opened in reused modernist building

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Urban Cam encourages integration into the community, training participation, holds masterclasses and concerts and focuses on comprehensive development. In particular, it includes temporary hostel-type housing for families with children who lost everything due to the war, event space and yard for holding events, and shelter. The first Urban Camp opened in March 2022 and accommodated 200 IDPs. More than 20 events for residents were carried out, and psychological support, everyday meals, care and comprehensive development of camp residents were provided. The second Urban Camp is designed for 100 people; it occupies three floors and has a yard, park and large event premises. Its idea is the integration of all youth street cultures and creative industries into a single ecosystem under one roof.

ADDITIONAL INFO: Much work in creating the Camp was done by volunteers and the community. Only for the arrangement of the inner yard of the camp were held 10 workshops over the course of 4 months, and about 200 people took part in them.
