10 schools and educational centres from various cities of Denmark joined the programme, implemented with the support of the Pylyp Orlyk Foundation, including Copenhagen, Esbjerg, Odense, Kolding and a school from Stockholm.
During the training, Foundation educational projects coordinator, historian Natalia Omelchuk, PhD student at Odesa National University, and project manager Svitlana Kvitnitska presented to teachers the interactive methodology “Memories in Boxes” — an educational model that combines work with historical and cultural artefacts, music, creative tasks and interactive elements. This format allows children not merely to receive information, but to feel history through touch, sound and personal experience.
In their responses, participants noted the practicality of the methodology, its adaptability to children of different ages and its capacity to strengthen Ukrainian children’s self-identification in the diaspora.
Natalia Omelchuk, educational projects coordinator at the Pylyp Orlyk Foundation, summarised the programme’s results: “We work with teachers abroad and together build a strong connection with Ukraine.”
The programme is implemented together with NGO “Help Ukrainian Children”, the public organisation “Lastivka” and with the support of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Denmark.
