Education recovery is not only about rebuilding schools, creating safe shelters, and providing additional classes to help children catch up on missed learning. It is also about restoring children’s ability to learn, communicate, trust others, and feel like a part of a community. It also means supporting the educators who help children regain this sense of stability every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

With support from Kindernothilfe (KNH), the savED team applies this comprehensive approach through the Core Educational Programme (CEP), a system of structured courses for children and professional support programmes for tutors at the EduHive learning centres.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A total of 1,189 children at 24 EduHives across seven regions of Ukraine attended the two new CEP courses.<\/b> However, these figures represent more than simply the number of participants. They reflect the knowledge and practical skills that children can use beyond the learning space – when communicating with their peers, dealing with emotionally challenging situations, and navigating their everyday lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

savED’s experience has shown that creating a physically safe space and filling it with standalone activities is no longer enough. Children need regularity, a clear learning pathway, and consistent support.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Many useful activities delivered by different partners took place at the EduHives, but they were often one-off events or were not connected to one another. A child needs more than a single interesting activity – they need a consistent educational experience. This is why we created the Core Educational Programme, a comprehensive set of structured courses that includes a curriculum, a trained tutor, methodological materials, ongoing support, and a clear outcome for each child,” explains <\/span>Yuliia Hariunova, Project Manager and Coordinator of the Foundation’s Psycho-Emotional Support Programmes.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the heart of this approach is simultaneous work with both the child and the adult who supports them. The quality of an educational programme depends not only on its content but also on how confidently an educator can address complex topics, recognise children’s needs, and create a safe atmosphere within the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the programme, children completed two new courses: “Myths About Boys and Girls” and “Empathy: Healing Through Play” (“Resource Practices”).<\/span><\/p>\n

The first course helps children better understand the principles of equality, respect for diversity, and non-discrimination. The second teaches them to recognise their own emotions, interact with others, and use simple resource practices in difficult situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Post-course surveys showed that:<\/span><\/p>\n
