Kyiv summarizes results of educational project implemented with the Government of the Faroe Islands
Experts, teachers, parents, and students—a reflection session brought together everyone involved in the initiative to address educational losses. Over two days, participants discussed the results, challenges, and new opportunities in the educational process, which is currently facing significant setbacks due to the impact of wartime events.
“I couldn’t figure it out, it was hard, but now I feel confident.”
“I was finishing fifth grade when the pandemic shifted all learning online. Now I’m in ninth grade, preparing to enter a technical school. I wanted to improve my Ukrainian language and literature skills, but it was difficult to do it on my own,” says Nazar from Kryvyi Rih. Together with his friend Dmytro, they are now preparing to continue their studies at an automotive technical school.
💬 “I was struggling with math,” adds Dmytro. “This project not only helped me catch up but also find preparatory courses at the technical school. Now I feel confident that I’ll do well on the External Independent Evaluation (ZNO).”






🔹 Innovative Methods and Inclusion
“From September to December 2023, we implemented the project in communities of Dnipropetrovsk region. It wasn’t easy: we created unique programs for each age group and incorporated modern methodologies. One of them was inclusive classes, where speech therapists worked alongside subject teachers. This approach yielded powerful results, and we are already receiving requests to implement it in other schools,” says Olena Bilolipetsva, head of educational projects at the NGO “Responsible Citizens.”
Time as a Resource: Teaching Children How to Use It
During the session, Ukrainian language teachers emphasized the importance of rational time management.
“With high school students, we wrote letters to the future,” shares Svitlana, a Ukrainian language teacher. “This not only helps improve literacy but also develops logical thinking and imaginative skills. Many children have lost the habit of live communication in recent years. Letters, discussions, and debates are key to the learning process.”
🔹 Next Steps
Following the meeting, participants developed a roadmap to address educational losses. This direction of work should become part of systemic changes, especially in eastern Ukraine.
The project was implemented by the NGO “Responsible Citizens” with financial support from the Government of the Faroe Islands.
