Why EDYOUKYIV?

Ukraine is a country of extraordinary cultural, linguistic, and intellectual richness.
At the same time, educators often face:

• challenging working conditions

• limited access to resources

• reduced international opportunities, especially during wartime

EDYOUKYIV exists to bridge these gaps by creating a sustainable platform that:

• supports teachers professionally and personally

• connects them to global educational communities

• recognises and celebrates their work, creativity, and leadership

Education, in this context, becomes an act of resilience.

EDYOUKYIV as a Movement

EDYOUKYIV is a teacher-driven movement.

Across Ukraine, thousands of educators work every day with dedication and courage.

EDYOUKYIV brings these voices together — transforming individual initiatives into collective strength.

 

A Community of Purpose

Teachers are not passive participants:

• they co-create activities

• lead initiatives

• mentor peers

• share practices and ideas

Every educator, coordinator, and partner contributes to a shared mission.

Local Roots, National Reach

EDYOUKYIV grows from the ground up:

• strong local school communities

• regional teams with distinct identities

• a unified national vision

This structure ensures diversity, inclusion, and coherence.
