Yurko Filyuk lives in Ivano-Frankivsk, a town at the “piedmont” of the Carpathian mountains. He started an initiative called a Warm City which helps to fund city projects through local businesses.

"Ukraine's Next Generation" is a series of 35 short videos about Ukrainians changing their country. It could be about saving an old movie theater or fighting corruption, about making a city more friendly or launching an online database, but it always requires someone's initiative and a group effort. The project's heroes make these changes happen instead of sitting and waiting until someone else solves every problem.
