Helping to integrate Ukrainian children into schools

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children who found themselves in a new country, without their family and friends. Their integration into a new environment, especially in the context of education, has proved to be a priority issue to address. That is why we decided to help with the HeartDay project.

Signing of Memoranda of Cooperation

Within the HeartDay project, we successfully established cooperation with primary schools from the Olomouc region. Which schools decided to join the project?
