They say a good neighbor is closer than a distant relative. But what should you do when tension prevails in the stairwell instead of pleasant greetings? This very question became the center of a heated discussion among the participants of the RIKA conversational integration club.
This time, club members didn't just improve their speech, but also searched for recipes for the ideal neighborhood:
• While polishing their knowledge of the norms of the modern Ukrainian literary language, they examined why some neighbors become a source of tension;
• In the format of a team quiz game "How to extinguish a quarrel?", they practiced the art of diplomacy and trained their attentiveness;
• They discussed legal instruments for conflict resolution, specifically what to do when words are no longer enough.
We thank all the participants of the RIKA conversational integration club for their sincerity, interesting stories, and desire to make our language even better!
The RIKA conversational integration club has been operating at the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library in Mykolaiv since February 2026 as part of cooperation with the NGO Tenth of April. The project is implemented under a partnership agreement between UNHCR Ukraine – the UN Refugee Agency in Ukraine and the NGO "Tenth of April."
