\u201cWhile our guys are defending us there, we have work here to do,\u201d the head of the Lanovetska hromada of Ternopil region says. The community tries to carry on, regardless of everything. The hromada lends a hand to those whose lives were threatened by war. Since February 2022, it has hosted more than 3,000 people from across Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho would we be without history?\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lanovetska hromada (territorial community) of Ternopil region formed in 2016. Members of the newly established community began to research the history of their land, and developed the visual identity of the hromada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hromada\u2019s coat of arms has symbolic references to the past, present, and future, head of the hromada Roman Kaznovetskyi says. Bright red \u2013 the color of the background, is the color of the Volhynia historic region. The sun symbolizes knowledge, prosperity, and well-being. The gates are a symbol of the city\u2019s spiritual life, renaissance, resilience, heroic stand, strength of the defenders, justice, and wisdom. There are also elements of the coat of arms of the Jelowicki noble family, the founders of the city, that link the hromada\u2019s identity to traditions and heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho would we be without history? That\u2019s important to know one\u2019s true history \u2013 as opposed to fictitious accounts that are forcibly imposed. The knowledge will give our community understanding how to develop and where to move,\u201d Roman Kaznovetskyi said.   <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

We spotted the hromada\u2019s logo across the city, inside and outside, in its communication materials and presentations, and on the souvenirs that the hromada commissions to strengthen its brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community continues to promote local history and culture through its projects. One of the fresh ones \u2013 the Jelowicki cultural center \u2013 was implemented with the support of the USAID DOBRE Program. The center is called after the founders of the city. Its visual identity is in line with the hromada\u2019s brand book. The Jelowicki cultural center is a youth center and a space for concerts, film screenings, training sessions, book presentations etc. The center ranks in the top ten in Ukraine\u2019s best youth centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
