All participants emphasized that they "managed to implement a number of plans and fully achieved the aims of participation in the event".

The main activity of the participants from the "Prostory" periodical was participating in the discussion "Ukraine in Europe: Vision, Configuration, Identity" within the focus program "Tranzyt – Literature from Poland, Ukraine and Belarus". The discussion concerned the events, which happened in Ukraine in the latest months. During the discussion a special issue of the "Prostory" magazine called "Documenting Maidan" was also presented; Nelia Vakhovska and Nataliya Tchermalykh performed the function of speakers. Vasyl Lozynskyi read two of his poems, translated by Halyna Latsanych particularly for this thematic issue of the magazine.
