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 had 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.
Khmelnytskyi
Emotions are what 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 remained in her native Khmelnytskyi and continued to work as a school director.
Yuzhne, Odesa region
“Considerable changes must begin with your surroundings” — such a concept Olesia Chaikivska, deputy director for educational work at the Viacheslav Chornovil General Secondary Educational Institution, a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature, tries to introduce at her school.
Shevchenkove village, Kharkiv region
Ihor Andriyenkov, deputy director of Novomykolayiv Lyceum, teacher of foreign literature, conducted his first lessons at school with his hands trembling after he came there immediately after the university. But later he discovered a secret — being friends with students and filling the lessons with interactive tasks.
Paniutyne village, Kharkiv region
Vladyslav Akymenko, teacher of history at the Paniutyne Lyceum, working in various areas and attending various events, feels alive only in the classroom. Each and every person for him is a unique world. “The applause is for you” — the phrase becomes final at the end of each class.
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 it but all are united by an understanding of Ukraine value and love for it.
