Students at the Superhero School state educational center in Boyarka (Kyiv region) will soon have even more opportunities for learning. Thanks to a group of patrons from Finland, the Olena Zelenska Foundation will finance the expansion of the educational space this year: a multi-classroom and a mental health room will be added.

Recently, Finnish partners, including patrons Kirsi Komi and Maija Sviborg-Jernström, visited the educational institution together with the Foundation team and writer and educator Linda Liukas. The guests familiarized themselves with the educational process and spent time in class with the children, exploring the properties of water and creating plasticine appliqués.

During the meeting, they also discussed organizing education for children who have been in hospital for a long time and creating conditions where every student can find inspiration.

Among the guests was Linda Liukas, author of the Hello Ruby book series, which has been translated into over 40 languages. She is also known for the Computer Playground project in Helsinki, which turns the basics of computer science into an interactive game.

The Olena Zelenska Foundation, together with Finnish donors, will continue to support the development of the School of Superheroes. Part of the funds will be allocated by the Foundation to the creation of new educational spaces in Ternopil and Chernivtsi. The School of Superheroes was established in 2018 by the Olena Zelenska Foundation and the Finnish NGO “Children of the Future.”
