Dear friends and colleagues, we have an important announcement.
For over 8 years, the NGO “Smart Osvita” team has created dozens of projects, engaging hundreds of thousands of children, educators, and parents. We have worked on educational reforms, informed and explained key events and phenomena, helped children from frontline areas overcome learning losses, and supported Ukrainian children abroad in staying connected with Ukraine. Our mission remains unchanged: to develop education for the qualitative transformation of Ukraine into a society with European values.
With each month, new ideas and projects emerged, along with new work areas. Our team also grew and evolved. We have decided on some organizational changes to continue supporting education more effectively.
As of February 1, 2025, Ivanna Kobernyk, co-founder of NGO Smart osvita, has taken on the role of Chair of the Board, succeeding Halyna Tytysh, who will now lead the newly established NGO Vchysya. The team and co-founders express deep gratitude to Halyna for her leadership and the dynamic growth of “Smart Osvita” during challenging times. We remain united in our vision and mission to make education modern, accessible, and resilient to today’s challenges. However, from now on, the projects once initiated by “Smart Osvita” will continue to develop in different ways.
NGO “Smart Osvita” will continue to develop:
✅ One of Ukraine’s largest education media platforms – Nova Ukrainska Shkola;
✅ Resilience.help – a psychological support initiative offering educational programs, training for students and educators, expert advice, and psychological health support;
✅ Podcasts on key educational topics;
✅ The “Chest for Shelters” project, supporting schools in frontline areas;
✅ And we are launching a new project, “Energy-Independent School,” with more details coming soon.
Meanwhile, the following projects will now be developed under NGO “Vchysya” (“Learn and Teach UA”):
✅ “Learn with Your Ears”;
✅ “National Project: Writing Essays”;
✅ “Staying with Ukraine”;
✅ “Now I Know”;
✅ “Ukraine Speaks English”.
We sincerely thank every one of you for being part of our projects, and for your feedback, partnerships, and support.
Let’s stay connected and continue advancing Ukrainian education – because we believe in its power.
