The agenda of the meeting included a visit to the Museum of Books and Printing in Kiev Pechersk Lavra, presentation of the LPW projects implemented this year and plans of LPW for the future. We also had an opportunity to taste Ukrainian and French wines and enjoy incredible view of Lavra Bell tower and Assumption Cathedral. During the tour we got an insight of the history of book writing starting in the 11th century, had a chance to see rare and unique books of 18-19 centuries and printing presses of 17th century. We appreciate the assistance of the staff of the Museum in general and Valentina Bochkovskaja, director of the Museum, in particular. The tour was followed by the reception. In June 2008 the LPW signed the UN Global Compact and became a member of Ukrainian UN Global Compact Network, therefore at the reception the LPW was awarded the UN Global Compact Certificate. In the picture you can see Anna Danyluk, Global Compact Focal Point representative, handing the Certificate to Olena Lazorenko, LPW President. The ceremony was followed by the presentation on LPW projects and events, brief on their preparation, implementation and results. Here is some of them:
