R2P Has Opened a Digital Learning Centre for Children in Kharkivska oblast

February 13, 2024

Right to Protection has opened a Digital Learning Centre for Children in Kharkivska oblast. It is a space for students aged 6–17 who cannot study full-time or have limited access to distance education due to a lack of technology.

The first such institution was opened in the Valkivska hromada. On the opening day, about 30 children came there. Parents and students were incredibly pleased with the Centre's programme: studying in the morning and quests, masterclasses, and games in the afternoon. They also appreciated the safety: the air-raid shelter and the technical equipment of the facility. 

On behalf of the parents, we are very grateful for this Centre. Our children enjoyed it; they were overwhelmed with emotions. It's a challenging time for the country; children are studying online, and, of course, they want to be distracted and communicate.

At Digital Learning Centres, students can: 

  • study the topics of the school curriculum in various subjects;
  • attend online classes and do homework under the guidance of teachers;
  • participate in masterclasses and other events;
  • engage in self-education and read;
  • communicate with peers, and spend time with friends.

Apart from studying, there are many activities so no one will be bored. We will be glad to see everyone from 9:00 to 18:00.

Activities will be held in groups according to the needs and interests of children of different ages. The Centre will also have a psychologist on hand to support children and their parents.

A total of 3 such centres will be opened in Kharkivska oblast. We are glad to create new opportunities for children's education and development during the full-scale invasion.

The assistance is provided within the framework of the Education in Emergencies project with the support of the international humanitarian organisation Save the Children in Ukraine and implemented by Right to Protection with funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.
