The Ukraine Project is a unique and exciting opportunity for our work to support Ukrainian children living through this horrific moment of violence, displacement, and uncertainty.  In collaboration with local and global partners, we are building learning experiences that integrate social emotional learning (SEL) with academics to help children process trauma while developing critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Four challenge courses are being constructed around the United Nations Sustainable Goals, including components for planning, application, and reflection in a super fun virtual learning environment. Through play, learners will be able to process their current experiences, apply design thinking to a STEAM-related topic, and transfer their learning to future life events.  All school aged children from Ukraine, whether displaced or in their home country, will have free access to learning experiences and to a community of peers through an app.  

Learner Objectives

  • Learners are empowered as innovative problem solvers and partners in addressing important global issues:

    Peace justice and strong institutions

    Responsible consumption and production

    Good health, and well-being, and

    Climate responsibility

  • The program provides learners with the highest quality educational materials that can be accessed asynchronously (on demand).

  • We support learners with Social and emotional learning (SEL) which strengthens competencies and skills they need to build resilience and effectively manage their emotions, behavior, and relationships with others.

  • We have designed the program to enhance the feeling of a global community, so students don't feel alone and are supported by Ukrainians and people internationally
