Areas of Focus

Educational Programs

Through our educational recovery program, we support children in regaining the knowledge they lost due to the full-scale war. We provide psychological support, assist with social reintegration, and help them find motivation for independent learning and self-development.

The program includes educational resources for primary and middle school, catch-up camps for high school students, and a mentoring and motivational component.

This focus area centers on children from frontline and border hromadas, as well as towns and villages significantly affected by the conflict or impacted by war-related losses, as they face the most substantial educational gaps.

 

Youth Mentorship Support

In 2024, GoGlobal has launched a comprehensive mentorship program for high school students, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge needed in today’s world. This includes critical and creative thinking, project management, self-presentation, effective communication, and more.

Through the «Generation of Victory» program, students receive career guidance and counseling. With mentor support, they create personal development roadmaps, learn to set personal goals, and work towards achieving them.

We teach youth about civic responsibility, encourage proactive engagement within their hromadas, and promote resilience. Additionally, we provide psycho-emotional support and train educators and school psychologists in these practices.

 

ESTEAM

ESTEAM is a new important initiative of GoGlobal focused on developing technical, creative, entrepreneurial, and social skills among students.

ESTEAM (Entrepreneurship, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) represents an integrated, hands-on approach to learning, through which children and teenagers acquire a wide range of skills essential in today's world.

Within this initiative, we organize camps for students, involving specialists from Ukrainian technology, innovation, and IT companies, as well as the Small Academy of Sciences.

In 2024, youth spaces with ESTEAM components will be established.

We are also working on opening a unique Mathematics Museum in Kyiv, along with a mobile museum that will help children in the regions appreciate the beauty of this science.

 

English

English is at the core of the mission of GoGlobal. The foundation began with the goal of teaching and promoting English in Ukraine, and this focus runs through most of its projects today. GoGlobal offers unique English learning and engagement programs for youth, including the GoGlobal Speaking Club, where students practice English with international volunteers. In these sessions, volunteers introduce students to the culture, customs, and history of their countries; they even explore folk dances and prepare traditional dishes together.

In the interactive «Go Global with GoGlobal» project, volunteers from around the world share stories, culture, and insights into their lifestyles with children over the course of a month.

We also work closely with Voice of America, creating impactful English learning projects for both students and teachers.

Psycho-Emotional Support

After the full-scale invasion in 2022, GoGlobal introduced psychological support initiatives for teachers, acknowledging the significant need for this support. These initiatives have now evolved into a comprehensive program for psycho-emotional support for educators and students.

Our experts—professional psychologists and trainers—train teachers and school psychologists to recognize early signs of psychological trauma in children, colleagues, and themselves, respond appropriately, and enhance their emotional resilience. The psycho-emotional support component, which includes art therapy and direct work with psychologists, is incorporated into almost all programs for children and youth.
