This statement was announced during the press conference held in the framework of the round table “Receipt and distribution of humanitarian supplies: practical experience” by the Head of Equal Access Committee, Doctor of Science on Social Communications Oleksandr Chekmyshev. 

Oleksandr Chekmyshev said also that during the media monitoring it would be traced primarily the examples of successful cooperation between the government institutions of different levels, public activists and journalists, resulted in a new format of synergy that would allow to solve many different problems, to involve the representatives of local business into implementation of public projects and also to make it more socially responsible.

According to the project coordinator, PhD on Social Communications Lesya Yaroshenko, the media monitoring of volunteerism practices will enable to investigate what public actions become widely known through the media, and what public actions, for whatever reason, do not have sufficient resonance.

The participants were invited for cooperation (to be the experts of the project, to report about successful examples of synergistic projects that are not covered by the media, about the efficient examples of collaboration of socially responsible business, the third sector with the authorities and the media, as well as the difficulties of such cooperation).
