The second stage of the state communication campaign of the EUKrayina, which lasted from 1 to 30 November 2021, has come to an end. It covered 15 million citizens who had the opportunity to learn about the values of the EU and the achievements of Ukraine's European integration.
"Before the start of the EUKrayina campaign a year ago, almost 25% of Ukrainians did not link specific reforms to Ukraine's strategic course towards EU membership. Therefore, the campaign focused on the first results of European integration, which the whole country has achieved since 2014.
"Another important goal of the campaign was to strengthen the understanding of the content of EU values through behavioral examples. It is rather symbolic that during the campaign we celebrated the Day of Dignity and Freedom, the anniversary of both Ukrainian revolutions. After all, our achievements in the country's transformation have become possible due to the embodiment of EU values. In this way, we are becoming even stronger and more resilient to the blows of daily Russian hybrid attacks," said Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine.
For his part, Oleksandr Obodovych, Head of the Department for Television and Radio Broadcasting, European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting, stressed: "This is the third national European integration communication campaign the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting has participated since 2018. All of thse are devoted to various aspects of European integration. But the result is always the same - maintaining the positive dynamics of Ukrainians' support for EU accession. Meanwhile, we invest in stimulating behavioral and value-based changes within the Ukrainian society."
The second stage of the EUCountry campaign included:
The customer was the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine in partnership with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration.
