Since September, 2024, we have engaged 10 teachers and 142 younger students who are currently abroad and unable to attend a Ukrainian school or are enrolled in a family-based form of education.

The project’s methodologists have designed a curriculum tailored to five proficiency levels, ensuring that students receive instruction suited to their knowledge. Groups are formed based on academic level, and each group is assigned a homeroom teacher for guidance and support.

Additionally, participants receive continuous psychological support throughout their learning journey. For parents, the project team has created a dedicated Telegram channel featuring engaging and useful Ukrainian-language content.
