Ten years ago, in 2014, Ukraine signed the Association Agreement with the European Union — a historic moment that set the nation on a new, courageous path.
It was a time of transformation, hope, and immense challenge. Standing beside Ukraine then was Mr. Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, who reaffirmed that Europe’s commitment to Ukraine was not just diplomatic — it was moral and historical.
Today, more than a decade later, Ukraine stands at another defining moment.
Accession negotiations with the EU have officially begun, marking a new chapter that goes beyond politics.
It’s about rebuilding trust, shaping resilient institutions, and preparing an entire society to take its place within the European family.
More Than a Conference — A Strategic Dialogue.
Get Ready for Europe open an ongoing conversation on how education can become a catalyst for transformation.
Because integration is not only achieved through treaties or institutions — it begins with people. Teachers, students, professionals, and citizens — all shaping a shared European identity rooted in knowledge, openness, and collaboration.
Our speakers on the conference Mr. Herman Van Rompuy – Honorary President of the European Council, Olivier Willocx – Representative of the Brussels Regional Parliament, Co-founder of Get Ready for Europe, Vsevolod Chentsov – Head of Mission of Ukraine to the EU and Jana Zikmundová – Former Belgian Ambassador to Ukraine, explore:
“Ukraine’s European Future: From 2014 to EU Membership” — a story of resilience, reform, and renewal.
