Project idea (in English):

BRIDGE – Bug River Initiative for Dialogue, Growth and Engagement – is a cross-border project that aims to build trust and strengthen cooperation between communities along the Polish–Ukrainian border through a symbolic kayak expedition on the Bug River. The river, which flows through both countries and defines their shared border, becomes the natural bridge for people-to-people dialogue, cultural discovery, and ecological awareness. The expedition is planned to start in Gołębie (Poland) – a key point near the upper Polish stretch of the Bug – but, if feasible, could begin on the Ukrainian side of the river to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The journey will end in Orchówek (Włodawa Municipality), at the tripoint where the borders of Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus meet – a powerful and symbolic place of connection. As an important addition, participants will also take part in a study visit to Verkhobuzh (Lviv Oblast) – the geographic source of the Bug River – to emphasize the shared origin and interconnectedness of our communities. Throughout the route, participants will explore local cultures, take part in culinary heritage experiences, and visit historical riverside towns and villages, discovering stories, traditions and natural beauty on both sides of the border.
