We organize dozens of online lessons per week for children of all ages on the Zoom platform. Ukrainian children from 2 to 18 years old, teachers, and parents can attend English-language educational online meetings free of charge. They are performed by volunteer teachers from different parts of the world: Canada, Australia, Japan, the USA, Portugal, Spain, etc. Children can join the meeting independently, as well as teachers with their classes. As part of the project, we also organize courses with in-depth study of the English language for registration, as well as lessons with English teachers for Ukrainian schools.
During the year of its creation, dozens of articles were written about the project in various Ukrainian and foreign media.
The Guardian: “‘Algebra under air raids’: the children in a Ukraine war zone who attend class in Australia“
The article tells about two Ukrainian girls who are currently in Australia: 13-year-old Sofia and 15-year-old Margo. The girls share their experiences of emigration and studying abroad. They talk about the children’s community, which was formed thanks to educational meetings. They talk interestingly about concepts, saw a lot of new things, and met interesting people, for example, astronaut Chris Gatfield.
The girl also talked about her learning experience in this project of other media. which:
