Lead the change

“Sviati Petrivtsi” is a podcast created by students of Staropetrivtsi Lyceum and Teach for Ukraine Fellowship alumnae Alla Shakhova and Hanna Zdor.

The Ukrainians is an independent Ukrainian media outlet that tells stories about people, ideas, and values that are changing our society. Ninth-grade students from the Petrivskyi Lyceum of the Petrivska Village Council, where Inna Stokratna teaches Ukrainian language and literature, visited the media’s office.

The Parallels project is an educational and cultural exchange initiative launched by Teach For Ukraine Fellowship alumni to help children from different parts of the country explore new regions and discover how much they have in common.

The local history society of Bucha Lyceum No. 5 — where Teach for Ukraine fellow Nadiia Naida teaches history — has been raising funds to create a digital memory route, a project that will become part of the city’s historical heritage.

Together with Teach For Ukraine participant Mariia Papchenko and their homeroom teacher Valeriia Oleksandrivna, students of Class 8-V at Hrebinkivskyi Lyceum visited the Bila Tserkva Book Printing Factory. The visit became a key step in their student-led project — a collaborative book that began as a Ukrainian language class assignment.

At the invitation of Bohdana Telychuk, a first-year fellow of the Teach for Ukraine Fellowship program, documentary filmmaker Yevhen Matviienko visited the Hrebinka Research Gymnasium. He presented his project Varta, which portrays the war through the stories of powerful individuals.
