We are educators and caring community residents who work daily to ensure quality education, development and support for children and youth even in difficult war conditions. That's why we strive to create a space that will become a support and development point for everyone.

Recent years have been a test and at the same time a growth point for us.

We organized educational trainings for students and teachers, conducted youth meetings and career guidance events, supported internally displaced children in adapting to new environment.

Our team has experience coordinating events, working with partners and organizing safe educational process under martial law. We have already proven that we can act systematically and responsibly.

Today the lyceum shelter performs its main function - ensures safety during air raids. But we see much greater potential in this space.

This place can become not just temporary protection, but also an environment for development, learning and new opportunities for community children and youth, internally displaced families and other vulnerable categories of residents.

We want to fill it with content - create a modern community hub where even in difficult war conditions knowledge, support, interaction and new initiatives will be born.

We will arrange a multifunctional space in the shelter with:

• learning zone for trainings and educational programs;
• zone for youth meetings and community initiatives;
• multimedia equipment and internet access;
• mobile furniture for different event formats;

This will not just be a shelter. This will be a place where children and youth can learn, communicate and feel support even in difficult times.

Thanks to the project:

• educational and community events won't stop during alarms;
• children and youth will gain new digital skills;
• internally displaced families will have space for integration;
• community will become more united;

War changes life but shouldn't stop the future.

Safe community hub is our way to support children and youth today so they can confidently build their tomorrow.

We want to do this together with you;
