"Edcamp Ukraine is bringing to educators around the country the Edcamp model of teachers learning and growing together. It is providing them with a forum for learning, sharing and collaborating that has power to change what is happening in classrooms for the sake of the students.

Edcamp Ukraine began with a vision for change in education around the country and, with hard work and dedication, it has been brought to fruition.

At this time of so many challenges for teachers, Edcamp Ukraine and its many forms of outreach provide support for teachers that allows them to do their best work, work that grows out of their shared experiences and collaborations."

"I am with the EdCamp Ukraine team not only because I believe in them but also because, during the five years of their activities, I have personally witnessed how powerfully they have been changing Ukrainian education for the better.

These are people who can see several steps ahead, who make decisions based on data and analysis, and who have their own legitimate position and the strength to voice it and they stand their ground, regardless of businesses or political movements. The EdCamp Ukraine team equals the highest level of professionalism, sincerity, creativity and generosity of ideas, inspiration and devotion."

"As an organization, EdCamp Ukraine is the most powerful non-governmental phenomenon in education since the nation gained its independence.

Today it is the best networking opportunity for educators in Ukraine. I have been watching them since year two of their activity and I can see how ideas and persistence can reshape a system as entrenched as education."

"I support EdCamp Ukraine because of my belief in the movement of white crows, my belief that teachers can be different; my belief that there are teachers who keep learning, instead of sticking with what they already know.

I have witnessed and believe in teachers who provide their students with knowledge, motivation, and inspiration. EdCamp is exactly about this. I am a mom myself, so I’ve seen different teachers, different schools, and different approaches. I can compare and choose. And I choose EdCamp Ukraine."

"EdCamp Ukraine is one of the most powerful non-governmental organizations in Ukraine’s education sector. This team quickly gathered thousands of supporters among educators and was able to energize and inspire them to work for the future of children. This is extremely important because only education can give hope to us as a nation.

Education is the only way for Ukraine to step up to the level of the most developed countries. And only educated minds can give our nation a chance to show our greatest talents to the world."
