"EdCamp Ukraine works to put into practice the values of respecting children in all their diversity. Every child is a unique world that needs to be heard. And this team does everything it can to help Ukrainian teachers make children happy.”

“As a Vice-Rector of Karazin University, I genuinely care about the development of Ukrainian education. My work is primarily focused on higher education. But I am delighted that my path has crossed with EdCamp Ukraine. This is a team that is shaping Ukraine’s future at the school level, guided by a deeply important belief: that the professional development of teachers has a direct impact on our children. I wholeheartedly support this vision and will continue to do so as a member of the Board of Trustees.”

“We have no choice but to keep developing, supporting, and reforming our education system, because education is not simply about the diplomas we award. It is about the values and ideas that will shape our society tomorrow.”

“I support EdCamp Ukraine for several reasons. First, they inspire educators and provide opportunities for professional growth and development. Second, they bring a high level of expertise and the ability to contribute to the legislative process, draft policy documents, and work effectively as a team. Third, they are deeply committed to reforming Ukrainian schools. With EdCamp Ukraine and the 34,000 members of this movement, I am confident that the reform cannot be reversed.”

“EdCamp Ukraine works to uphold the values of respect for every child, regardless of their differences. Every child is a unique world that deserves to be heard. And this team does everything it can to help Ukrainian teachers make children happy.”

“EdCamp Ukraine, as an organisation, is, without exaggeration, the most powerful non-governmental initiative in education since Ukraine gained independence. Today, it offers the best networking opportunities for educators in Ukraine. I have been following the organisation’s work since its second year, and I have seen how ideas and determination can transform even a system as conservative as education.”

“I support EdCamp Ukraine because I believe in the movement of white crows — those who dare to be different. I believe that teachers can be different, that they can keep learning, remain open-minded, and embrace change. I believe in teachers who give children not only knowledge, but also motivation and inspiration. That is exactly what EdCamp is about. As a mother myself, I have encountered different teachers, different schools, and different approaches. So I have the experience to compare and make my own choice. And I choose EdCamp Ukraine.”

“I understand the strength of the educational community, its potential, and its aspirations. EdCamp is a unique space where educators can find inspiration, share experiences, introduce high-quality and innovative teaching practices, and work together to transform education for the better.”

“EdCamp Ukraine is one of the most influential non-governmental organisations in the field of education. This team has quickly brought together tens of thousands of supporters from the educational community, inspiring them, energising them, and giving them the motivation to work towards a better future for children. This matters because education and upbringing are what give us hope as a nation. Only education can place Ukraine on an equal footing with the world’s most developed countries. And only an educated mind can give us, as a country, the opportunity to show the world the very best of what we are capable of.”

“This team coordinates the EdCamp format nationwide, providing teachers with a space to learn and grow together, ultimately transforming classroom experiences for students. The EdCamp Ukraine movement began with its own vision for change in the national education system and, through hard work and dedication, has turned that vision into reality. At a time when teachers face so many challenges, the EdCamp Ukraine community supports educators through a wide range of opportunities for engagement. This empowers them to teach better than ever before, building on shared experiences and collaboration.”

“For me, EdCamp is a source of strength — a community of inspiring people united by shared values and a common sense of purpose. Over the three years of our friendship and collaboration, EdCamp has become very close to my heart. The changes they are making are truly impressive. As an organiser myself, I understand just how much effort goes into these processes, but this is only the beginning! These tireless people are constantly searching for solutions and fresh ideas for education as a whole and for teachers in particular. EdCamp Ukraine is one of the most hardworking and effective agents of change in Ukrainian education.”
