The series of openings of Educational Spaces in the Kherson region began in Chornobaivka. Now children can dream and learn again!
Digital Education Centre No. 33, located in the Kherson region, was opened on the premises of the Chornobaiv Lyceum. The work of the centre is coordinated by the Association for Innovative and Digital Education in cooperation with UNICEF and the Kherson Regional State Administration.
The new space was opened at a safe distance from the line of fire, in a shelter, for the safety of children and adults.
The opening of DLC N33 was attended by distinguished guests:
Audrey Lecomte – Head of the UNICEF Office in Odessa;
Jérôme Guillemot – UNICEF Water and Sanitation Manager;
Volodymyr Tsololo – Programme Manager, UNICEF Odessa Office;
Jamila Akhtar – Child Protection Specialist, UNICEF Odessa Office;
Oleksandr Prokudin – Head of the Kherson Regional State Administration;
Olena Danilova – Head of the Department of Education and Science of the Kherson Regional State Administration;
Tetiana Lisna – Secretary of the Chornobaivka Village Council;
Anatoliy Lutsenko – Director of the Chornobaivka Lyceum;
Dmytro Bondarenko – Deputy Head of the Association for Innovative and Digital Education;
Natalia Pidhurska – Coordinator of Digital Learning Centres (DLC) in Odesa and Kherson Regions;
Daria Mazur and Yevgeniya Bezhina – Coordinators of Digital Learning Centre DLC 33 ‘Chornobaivka’.
During the opening ceremony, guests attended a group psychological consultation for teenagers, organised for pupils in grades 5-8 as part of the ‘I Support My Friends’ programme developed by UNICEF and adapted by psychologists from the Association for Innovative and Digital Education on the theme of ‘The Tree of Life’. The session was conducted by psychologist Marina Mazur.
The mission of Digital Education Centres is to provide education to schoolchildren who do not have access to offline education and to help them catch up on their educational losses..
"There are already nine Digital Education Centres operating in the Kherson region. We hope that with our partners, the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF and the Association for Innovative and Digital Education, we will continue to open similar locations, as this is perhaps the only opportunity for our region to learn offline," - comments Oleksandr Prokudin, Head of the Kherson Regional State Administration.
"We are very pleased that we have managed to open Centres in the Kherson region, which is on the front line. After all, Digital Education Centres are not only about learning, but also about developing important life skills: first and foremost, communication and psychosocial support for one another.
We plan to continue partnering with the Kherson region in supporting children," - says Audrey Lecomte, head of the UNICEF office in Odessa.
"Opening Digital Education Centres in Kherson and Chornobaivka was the most difficult challenge for us in terms of security among the 46 centres in the Mykolaiv, Odesa and Kherson regions.
We are delighted that children in the Kherson region can learn using innovative educational technologies and in safe conditions," - says Dmytro Bondarenko, Deputy Head of the Association for Innovative and Digital Education.
