“I dream of going back home to Donetsk.” Meet Yaroslav and Nastya, two of 580,000 children directly affected by the conflict in East Ukraine since 2014. Children in the most conflict-affected areas have lost months of schooling or have to cross checkpoints just to get to school. Despite the challenges, approximately 70,000 displaced children have been enrolled in new schools.
School means more than a classroom and homework for many of these children. Unicef and EU’s work in Ukraine responds to these children’s needs in promoting an environment where they can learn life skills, conflict resolution and peace-building techniques.
