Volunteers are also human beings, and in their fourth year of hard daily work, they can experience problems such as burnout and devaluation.

Every week, Intent.Insight looks at a problem that worries Ukrainians and tries to solve specific issues, so the July 15 live episode was dedicated to discussing the problems of rest for volunteers.

Does a volunteer have the right and opportunity to take a break? How can you reboot yourself and why is it sometimes necessary? The host talked about this with Olena Rabchuk-Krylatova, a journalist, head of the Prolyudey media project and organizer of retreats for volunteers.

A retreat is a period of personal or group solitude for spiritual or psychological work on oneself. The purpose of the retreat is to dive deeper into one's true nature and see one's daily life as the realization of this nature. In some traditional schools, the retreat is a continuous sitting meditation with breaks only for sleep and food. In others, physical and intellectual work, cooking and eating practices, walks, and socializing are as much a part of the retreat as meditation.

In the last episode on July 8, host Maria Lytianska talked to Vadym Drumov, CEO and co-founder of Hillel IT School. Together they were looking for answers to the following questions: how to bring IT people back to Ukraine? Is IT education promising here and now? What should modern employees and businessmen do to keep up with the times?

. In June, Odesa hosted the Brain Fest youth festival: "Summer of Ideas, organized as part of the R&D Hub South project. So the previous aether was dedicated to the results of the festival.

On June 24, we decided to dedicate the airtime to the problems faced by children in Ukraine and Odesa, the situation with orphanhood, and the challenges of wartime. Valeriy Bolgan, the host and editor-in-chief of Intent, spoke to Yulia Nikandrova on air.

The previous edition of Intent.Insight was devoted to the language issue. The host Valeriy Bolgan talked to Andriy Vagapov, a deputy of the Odesa City Council.
