Amid the devastating impact of the Russian war on Ukraine’s education system and the significant gender gap in technology fields, the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO, supported by the international company Mastercard, has engaged over 500 girls in the Girls4Tech training and educational program.

In light of the devastating impact of the Russian war on education in Ukraine and the significant gender gap in technology fields, the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO, supported by the international company MasterCard, announces enrollment for girls in the free training and educational program Girls4Tech.

The training program “Psychosocial Support for Teachers and Students”, developed by the Teach For Ukraine NGO with the support of the Embassy of Finland, is based on key elements of the standard professional development program “Fostering Resilience in Educational Institutions.”

Teach For Ukraine NGO is proud to announce that its Chairperson, Oksana Matiash, has become the first Ukrainian selected to join the prestigious Obama Foundation Scholars program. Oksana will be part of the sixth cohort of scholars—12 emerging leaders from around the world—who will participate in a special program at Columbia University in New York City during 2023-2024.

Implemented by the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO with support from the UNICEF Ukraine under the initiative “Together for Learning.”

The course “Brave to Teach” for educators on teaching during crisis was developed by the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO with support from the UNICEF Ukraine within the “Together for Learning” initiative, in partnership with the online education studio EdEra. The course launched in October 2022, and within just three months, 20,000 educators have used the recommendations on teaching and interacting with children during the war. The number of new participants continues to grow actively.

The calendar “The Year of Brave Teachers” was created to serve as a daily reminder of the importance of caring for one’s mental health. Educators received this gift by sharing their experience using the chatbot assistant in their daily practice. The calendar was developed within the “Spilno for Teachers” project by the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO with support from UNICEF Ukraine as part of the “Together for Learning” initiative.

Fifty thousand views of the “Spilno for Teachers” webinars give us reason to believe that education is always timely, especially in times of crisis. As part of the “Spilno for Teachers” project, the educational organization Teach For Ukraine NGO, supported by UNICEF Ukraine, organized a series of six online mental health support webinars for educators. Together with experts and practicing psychologists from the organization Tolerance Space, over 400 educators received valuable advice on how to maintain their own resources, analyzed cases of working with students, and explored ways to resolve conflict situations.

As part of the “Spilno for Teachers” project, the Teach For Ukraine team, in partnership with UNICEF Ukraine, conducted 14 support visits for educators across the country. Olya Yurchyshyn, Head of School & Community Partnerships at Teach For Ukraine, along with experts — psychologist Anastasiia Anosova and Ukraine’s Education Ombudsman Serhii Horbachov — met with teachers in various regions: Kyiv, Odesa, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Lviv oblasts.

The educational organization Teach for Ukraine NGO and the online learning studio EdEra have developed a course on teaching during times of crisis. The course has received official endorsement from the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and offers a certificate of professional development.
