Responsibility Marathon
The Responsibility Marathon is an annual initiative of the Bohdan Hawrylyshyn Family Foundation aimed at promoting the principles of human responsibilitшуі in Ukrainian society.
The central idea of the Responsibility Marathon is to highlight the positive changes that happen every day and the active, engaged Ukrainians who are making them. Each year, at the beginning of May, participants explore the principles of Bohdan Hawrylyshyn’s Declaration of Human Responsibilities and plant sunflower seeds as a symbol of personal growth and awareness of one’s responsibility for the future.
A special sunflower variety named “Bohdan Hawrylyshyn” was developed for the Responsibility Marathon, though any sunflower seeds available to you are enough to take part in the initiative.
In 2026, the 10th anniversary Responsibility Marathon will be held in honor of Bohdan Hawrylyshyn’s centenary.
