According to the last assessment of the World Bank, learning losses for the Ukrainian society could potentially be estimated in trillions of dollars. Talking to the communities of Cherson, Chernigiv, Mykolaiv, Trostyanets and other territories of Ukraine, representatives of CPVA presented Lithuania‘s Future School For Ukraine initiative to create a 90% ready adaptive technical design, which wil be used by the Ukrainian institutions and international donors involved in the reconstruction of the war-torn country.
“We aim to leverage Lithuania’s expertise in the recovery and growth of the education sector in Ukraine. The Future School for Ukraine project was collaboratively developed by the Ukrainian and Lithuanian educators and architects and is a great opportunity not just to rebuild destroyed schools, but also to create a high-quality learning environment”, said Mariana Varkaliene, Project Manager of CPVA.
