Pupils of the 9-A grade took part in the International Competition "Young European Heritage Makers", which is organized by the Council of Europe and the European Commission as part of the "Days of European Heritage" program. The European Heritage Days are the most widely celebrated participatory cultural event shared by the people of Europe. The Council of Europe launched the initiative in 1985, and in 1999 was joined by the European Union to create the joint action, which has continued up to the present day. Conceivably, the Programme, which can boast up to 20 million visitors every year, generates the greatest value, Euro for Euro, of any “European” cultural project.

 We became the winners of the All-Ukrainian selection of the Active Sister Schools international competition. Active Sister Schools is an innovative and international project that aims to create unity and integration across school classes in Denmark, Poland, Spain, and Ukraine. Through movement and fun activities in the classroom, students learn about each other’s lives, cultures, traditions, and surroundings.

The project provides a vibrant platform where diverse children can interact, learn, and forge lasting friendships.

GoCamp is the biggest volunteer programme in Eastern Europe, where volunteers from the whole globe motivate kids to learn foreign languages and introduce the world to children from all over Ukraine.

In October students participated in the GoGlobal project - the English-language Go Global Speaking Club with a volunteer Yoko Lienes from Indonesia, where they
- played interactive games;
- expanded vocabulary in the context of favourite games;
- discussed current topics;
- met interesting people;
- learned more about the world around us;
- learn to speak about Ukraine to the whole world.
The GoGlobal Speaking Club is a unique project by GoGlobal that has brought together more than 1000 students from all over Ukraine with volunteers from more than 20 countries! GoGlobal Speaking Club is not only about communication, it is about online travel and meeting different cultures, it is an opportunity to escape from the war and introduce Ukraine to the whole world.

eTwinning is the largest community of schools in Europe. The program provides the activity of an Internet platform for teachers, on the basis of which European schools implement joint online projects. Our school has been a member of the community since 2016, and we have implemented 6 projects. This year students joined the Christmas Cards Exchange project, which aims to exchange customs and traditions of Christmas in different countries and, as a final result, to exchange Christmas greeting cards. The 190 participants in this project were distributed in such a way that children received cards from different countries and learned more about the traditions of other cultures. Our gymnasium will work in teams with students from Italy, Turkey, Spain, and Romania.

POP-UP Festival is the world's largest EQ development programme (Emotional Intelligence (EQ) means being smarter)
EQ is a learnable, measurable skill that predicts improvement, performance, relationships, quality of life and well-being.
POP-UP Festival celebrates World Children's Day on 20 November in partnership with UNICEF 
The POP-UP Festival is celebrated in 200+ countries around the world. This year, the festival was held in our institution. Within the project we conduct meaningful lessons, play interesting games that help develop children's emotional intelligence and learned about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

There are many countries in the world that have gone through or are going through similar experiences to Ukraine. Their families have also faced severe challenges, but they are holding on and do not forget their dignity and freedom. The decent always support the decent. In people whose values are similar to yours, you can always find support and faith that good always triumphs over evil.
Many people around the world support Ukraine and Ukrainians. Among those who help Ukrainians are students from different countries. This year, a special video message was recorded by students from the United States and the United Kingdom.
Students of the 6th grade recorded and sent a video message to their peers from Pembroke Dock Community School in the UK in response to their video greetings on the occasion of the holiday to support Ukrainian students 

Since 2018, we have been cooperating with a non-governmental organisation that annually conducts the ‘World's Biggest Lesson’ initiative on the Sustainable Development Goals in educational institutions.

‘The World's Largest Lesson" is a global initiative that aims to hold classes in 100 countries and introduce the Global Sustainable Development Goals to children around the world.

UNICEF has been implementing this initiative in Ukraine since 2015, in partnership with other NGOs and youth organisations. In 2021, AIESEC Ukraine will join the project. 

The project raises awareness of global issues, motivates to be active, take responsibility and develop leadership skills
