This week, non-formal education courses within the framework of the “Arena of Knowledge” project were completed.
“Knowledge Arena” has become a platform for non-formal education for children and adolescents 6-17 years old from among IDPs and residents of Lviv. Participants were invited to attend 13 different courses free of charge.
Children attended the following courses: IT technology, Robotics and lego construction, English through practice, Financial literacy, History and culture of Ukraine, Theatre art, Videography, Journalism, Art Therapy, Sport through perception, Active leisure, Handmade and 3D.
“During the implementation of the project, about 180 children visited our space, among whom were IDPs and Lviv residents. More than 300 classes in 13 courses were held, therefore 600 hours of theory and practice of interesting training. Children are very comfortable attending classes, because there was a friendly atmosphere, thanks to which it was easy for them to open up, show their talents and express themselves. . We are glad that we can work and develop our youth, because they are the future and present of Ukraine,” says project coordinator Olha Stelmakh.
Within the framework of the project, 6 excursions were also conducted. The participants visited the Lviv Organ Hall, the Lviv National Philharmonic, the Lviv City Council, Lviv Open Lab, local radio and quest. The participants got to know the art better, attended the rehearsal of the Carmen Opera Orchestra, visited the session hall, where they felt like real deputies, as well as real scientists, doing a variety of chemical experiments in the laboratory. Such events allowed children to experience new background and get acquainted with interesting professions.
The “Knowledge Arena” project was really useful and interesting for children and teenagers. We regularly published information and photos about the courses on our Instagram and Facebook accounts. In particular, we have shot more than 20 videos about the project, which you can view on our social networks.
The Arena of Knowledge project is being implemented with the support of the Norwegian Refugee Council in Ukraine.
