What we do
Nurturing resiliency in times of crisis
Since February 24, EdCamp Ukraine has been working on initiatives designed to support Ukrainians.
These initiatives opened up a new area of work for us — humanitarian work.
Initiatives
We have selected different formats so that each of you can join us at a convenient time from a convenient place.
Resiliency Tolokas
Our Resiliency Tolokas are designed to practice resilience, social, emotional and ethical learning through the professional performance of invited guests, as well as through exercises and games.
Event guests
Today, we must grow and develop, learn new things and share knowledge, teach and learn, be strong and strengthen our community to build a free and independent future for our country. Strengthening our own resilience, so we can respond to events with self-compassion, compassion to those around us, and our country, is the number one task on the path to Ukraine’s recovery and society’s healing.
For the event, we invite one international expert who is recognized in their field and can support Ukrainian educators during these challenging times of war. Participants of the Toloka have the opportunity to ask their questions live.
In the third season of Tolokas, we’ve added two special features to the format: practical cases from educators on applying SEE Learning exercises in educational institutions, and a unique game where several volunteers from the online audience can answer interesting (and funny) questions and win small prizes.
Following each event, we compile a booklet featuring the top ideas from the speakers, produce an audio podcast of the session, and create a video recap of the most significant insights. Participants can also receive a certificate if they confirm that they have advanced their professional skills.
We invite you to join us on the path to building resilience together!
What is the event about?
This event is two hours rich with games, good news, an expert lecture with practices to strengthen mental health and resiliency, as well as reflection.
Guests of the Resiliency Tolokas have included:
Media coverage of the Resiliency Tolokas
Read articles in national media and pedagogical publications.
Results
Recordings of all previous Resilience Tolokas can be found at our YouTube Channel, and announcements of the next ones — in our social networks.
Lines of Unity
Each of our personal stories carries a unique imprint of strength and resiliency. At the same time, our very different and profound experiences can sometimes distance us from one another.
That is why the Lines of Unity project transforms these differences into a force that brings us together. Through research, creativity, and dialogue in education, we explore unity as a real, living value that helps us persevere and rebuild our country together.

social media
To support one another and foster meaningful dialogue, we have created practical tools for you:
Educational intensive
A space for meaningful interaction and shared growth. Join us for a learning experience where we work with these materials together, share what we discover, and learn to use values-based tools.
Methodological recommendations for educators
The guide brings together everything you need to introduce a values-based approach into educational practice step by step: advice from psychologists, clear guidance for interacting with children, ready-to-use cases, and practical solutions. Recommended age: 15+.
Hibuki School
About the therapeutic method
The course we offer provides training in universal therapeutic methods for dealing with the effects of any traumatic events through the use of the Hibuki Therapy method.
We specifically designed the program “Hibuki School: Using the Hibuki Therapeutic Toy in Ukrainian Educational Institutions During Wartime, Post-War Periods, and Integration with the SEE Learning Program” for Ukrainian educators.
The program includes a detailed introduction to this therapeutic method for helping children and adolescents in crisis situations, as well as the specific use of the integrative toy (as a model for therapy and education).
For whom?
Training in working with the Hibuki toy will now be available not only to psychologists but also to the entire teaching community.
Classes with the Hibuki toy will contribute to:
- strengthening inclusive education,
- developing soft skills, particularly communication and teamwork,
- teaching self-compassion, compassion to others, creativity, and critical thinking.
The last two items are fully reflected in the Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning program, and one of the training modules will be dedicated to integrating the potential of these two tools (SEE Learning and Hibuki Therapy).
Handbook
This guide is designed to introduce educators, school staff, psychological service workers, and administrators to the potential of the Hibuki Therapy method and to demonstrate its effectiveness in stabilizing children during the learning process and reducing the symptoms of stress and trauma.

A tool for teachers
Community Resiliency Model
This training, designed for Ukrainian educators, is based on the Community Resiliency Model developed by the Trauma Resource Institute (USA).
It was created to foster resilience after experiencing traumatic events, and to build trauma-informed, resilience-focused communities that can support themselves and others within their broader social networks.
Purpose
Designed to build resilience after experiencing traumatic events.
Results
Experts from the Trauma Resource Institute (USA) conducted a series of certified flagship online workshops. In total, we engaged 109 participants in three waves of training in 2022, 2023, and 2025.
Theoretical foundations of CRM
Recordings on the theoretical foundations of the Community Resiliency Model (CRM) can be found in the first meetings of the EdCamp Ukraine team and experts from the Trauma Resource Institute as part of the Resiliency Space initiative.
Change in 7 months
“Change in 7 months” is a nationwide project aimed at creating a comfortable and psychologically safe atmosphere in an educational institution through the implementation of external and internal changes.
2 winning schools, namely Ternopil School No. 28 and Bobrytsk Gymnasium, will receive:
👉 UAH 700,000 each for the repair of the premises,
👉 the opportunity for the entire educational community to enhance their qualifications, and the chance to work with experts to develop a unique development strategy,
👉 a true resilience-oriented school built through “co-creation,” as well as the right to undergo pilot public accreditation as an alternative to institutional audit.
Cheers to the changes we need so much!
Video about the project
All videos about the project are available on our YouTube channel.
Guidebook
In this guide, you will be able to read about how important space is for the educational process, how to go about changes – both internal and external. At the same time, you’ll find numerous practical tips on how the space works, the practicalities of school renovations and safety, and ultimately how to find funding for projects.
Mine safety
The professional development program “Notice, Recognize, Act Safely” was created as a two-part instructional webinar on how adults should behave in explosive hazard areas and how to discuss these risks with children and adolescents.
The professional development training was conducted in accordance with the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) 12.10 and adapted to the Ukrainian context in 2022. All the details: edcamp.ua/en/mine-safety.
Our partners in the development of this program were representatives from The HALO Trust.
Results
We created a mini-guide, “Mine Safety: How to Talk to Children. Advice for Adults,” for parents, educators, caregivers, and everyone who works with children. It provides valuable advice on how to talk effectively with children about their personal safety, as well as links to information resources that can be used in lessons, extracurricular activities, and conversations with children of different ages.
Unlocking Your Potential
This course is designed for people who want to create a positive future for themselves, their families and friends, their communities, and the planet, but feel constrained in the present by anger, regret, sadness, disappointment, and other difficult emotions. For educators and Ukrainians around the world, Edith Eger (1927–2026) and Jordan Engle provided free access to three of the ten modules, which we translated, subtitled, and voiced in Ukrainian.

My War. The Lessons
EdCamp Ukraine implemented an initiative that helped to shed light on the status quo in Ukrainian education and build an understanding of the wartime school — a series of 27 interviews with educators whoaither remained in or relocated from various regions of Ukraine, about their work during the war, the functioning of educational institutions and personal experiences and feelings during the wartime.

Full interviews can be found on our website and on Nakypilo Media Group website.
Raising funds to support teachers
As part of the project, an international crowdfunding campaign was launched to raise funds to support teachers. It is aimed at an international audience that can contribute a donation.
Results of material support
We provided technological kits to support 58 educators.
Having bought a set for remote work — a laptop, a computer mouse, a router, headphones — for those teachers who want to teach children, but because of the war they lost this opportunity, because now they do not have the necessary equipment.
Results of psychological support
We provided individual psychological consultations to 55 educators.
Based on the work of our specialists, we developed a supportive guide titled “Learning to Cope: From Psychologists to Educators” for anyone in need of support during these challenging times of war.
Open Resiliency Space
This initiative marked the beginning of our return to work immediately after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The first open online sessions for anyone interested, with experts from the Trauma Resource Institute and Emory University, began as early as February 25, 2022.
During the live sessions, we practiced SEE Learning, shared practical advice on a range of issues concerning Ukrainians, discussed individual situations, and provided consultations.
Daily resiliency space
Guide
Following the training sessions, we prepared a thematic guide titled “Resourceful Adults: How to Help Yourself and Children.” It contains practical advice from experts on managing emotions, coping with stress, improving well-being, and returning to joy and stability in challenging circumstances. The guide is divided into sections, each focused on addressing an important issue or developing resilience skills, which are crucial during wartime and post-war recovery.
Thematic Expert Materials on Sensitive Topics
How to maintain information hygiene and avoid panic, how to adapt and help your child adapt to a new place, how to find understanding and avoid conflict if you’ve relocated within Ukraine, are hosting someone within Ukraine, have moved abroad, are dealing with children and adults with disabilities, are volunteering, are seeking help from volunteer initiatives, are supporting the volunteer community, don’t want to leave or are unsure about leaving while others insist, and more.

This is a system of regular activities designed to support both adults and children. Participants from the educational community joined daily morning and evening resourceful online meetings.
The activities also included bi-weekly online support meetings for those working with children with disabilities, developmental and recreational online activities for children and youth of various ages, and a Telegram channel for parents offering support, advice, and useful content for children.
We provide detailed information about all of this on our Telegram channel.

Professional development programs on the Vektor platform
EdCamp Academy is a professional development provider offering the most relevant programs on education during crises, catering to both educators and parents.
Learn how to build resilience skills within educational communities, organize teachers’ efforts to reduce students’ emotional stress during wartime, and develop tools for fostering critical thinking and creativity, among other skills.
Choose a programSmart Summer EdCamp
For the first time in our history, we have launched an online summer camp for students — “Smart Summer”.
For whom?
We have developed unique programs for all age groups, from the 1st to 11th grade, and created 8 unique thematic groups.
What was it like?
A safe online space for children and young people to communicate and grow, supported by talented educators who care about their students and what they do for them. Over four sessions, we engaged a total of 608 students.
Later, after analyzing student engagement, we identified a troubling pattern with a twofold negative effect: 1) many children registered for the program but never actually started, and 2) even among those who did start, many were not interested in completing it and dropped out at various stages.
To prevent this, children themselves need to be interested in learning. This conclusion became one of the foundations of the pedagogical model for the future POVIR Educational Platform, designed to address learning loss and gaps.
