The "Leave no one behind" project, focused on upgrading computer science classrooms in the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Poltava regions, is being carried out by the public organization “Ukrainian Democratic Forum."
"We live in difficult times, but our victory started at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. No one can take away our independence, and the country will be rebuilt, and we will make it better. Your education and skills will decide how developed and strong Ukraine will become," said Mykola Kniazhytskyi, a member of parliament and founder of the public organization "Ukrainian Democratic Forum," during a meeting with high school students from Lviv. He shared his experience in media business and politics and answered questions from the students. Kniazhytskyi pointed out to the students how important it is to develop their own social media, as it helps promote Ukraine.
“The more content you create on your social media pages, the more you share information about Ukraine with the world. Each of you can create your own content and, what's more, earn money for such work. We need to be open to the world and make our country so innovative and strong that no one will dare to attack us," the politician encouraged the youth.
During the communication, new sets of equipment were also delivered to Schools No. 67 and No. 81 named after Petro Sahaydachny for their participation in the project.
"Our school has over 1,100 students," said Irina Sovyk, the deputy director of School No. 67. "A third of them are children from low-income families. The school's current goal is to provide more opportunities for development and skills in working with technology. That’s why the new computers are so important to us. We are also grateful to the entrepreneurship camp trainers for their lessons. The information was especially useful for the high school students, as they gained valuable knowledge about the basics of business and will be more confident in turning their ideas into reality in the future."
Uliana Pak, the coordinator of the "Leave No One Behind Partnership" project, mentioned that the entrepreneurship and innovation camps are still taking place in schools in Lviv. However, the project teams have already started delivering equipment to these schools. In total, 52 schools in Lviv will be able to update their computer science classrooms with new technology.
"This equipment will help many students gain the necessary skills for today’s world and get closer to their personal goals or dreams, while the country will develop skilled professionals. The project is called “Leave No One Behind Partnership.” Indeed, the schools that applied have already become more advanced both in terms of knowledge and technology. We are grateful to Taiwan for this opportunity and to the teachers for their active participation and their wish to make education modern and interesting for children," said Uliana Pak.
The project is being performed in the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Poltava regions by the organization "All-Ukrainian Democratic Forum," with support from Taiwan and help from Mykola Kniazhytskyi.
