Maksym Volik

Biography

A 4th-year student majoring in International Relations, Public Communications and Regional Studies at the Educational and Scientific Institute of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. I have practical experience in civic activities and have been actively developing in the field of youth policy for more than four years - from participating in civic organizations to representation in national-level youth councils. I have worked on initiatives aimed at strengthening youth participation in decision-making processes and the development of European values in Ukraine. I have successful cases of cooperation with leading charitable and political foundations, as well as with the youth wings of political parties.

In my research work, I focus on the countries of Latin America, analyzing political processes, security policy, and the key challenges facing the region. In my professional and personal life, I am guided by a desire to go beyond the ordinary; I am not afraid to take risks and implement the boldest ideas, seeking unconventional paths where others see limitations.
