Who we are
The “long tail effect” refers to deferred outcomes of our activities, when new ideas, projects, and partnerships are born among participants of EdCamp events long after they finished.
In 2018–2019, the EdCamp Community that leads the EdCamp movement in the United States and unites all national EdCamp organizations across the world conducted a survey of members of the American movement.

Behind statistics hide the stories of real people, actual teachers. To bring them to light, we’ve been inviting film director Pavlo Susliakov and KVIDEO production studio for several years in a row to create documentaries that help us tell the stories of “ordinary” extraordinary educators whose life changed after they started attending EdCamp Ukraine events.
Chortkiv, Ternopil region
Yana Petlovana does not place responsibility for her future on anyone, because she understands that only her actions lead to the future she aspires to. She teaches at the college, volunteers, chairs the station stratum foreman, and also shares her professional experience with educators at numerous educational events.
Pomichna city, Kirovohrad region
Colleagues say about her: "Borysivna has gone somewhere again, she will bring something again. Even if you hide!". And she explains to them that teachers cannot stand still, because they teach children, and it is necessary to do it as best as possible, and for this it is necessary to feel the students' requests and to be on the same wavelength with the children.
Khmelnytskyi
It’s emotions that make us human. We need to study them, learn to manage them, because they can both lift us to heaven and lower us into the abyss. Iryna Tomych begins her story with these words. After February 24, she has stayed in her native Khmelnytskyi and continued to work as a school principal.
Yuzhne, Odesa region
“Considerable changes must begin with your surroundings.” This is the concept Olesia Chaikivska, deputy director for educational work at the Viacheslav Chornovil General Secondary School, a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature, is trying to introduce at her school.
Together with journalist Halyna Kovalchuk we prepared 25 unique, emotional, truthful and very sincere interviews with teachers. All of them are from different parts of Ukraine and have had different experiences, but they were united by one great misfortune that came to us on February 24. Some were forced to leave home because of the war, while others were helping their colleagues who were affected by the war but all are united by their shared understanding of Ukraine's value and their love for the country.
