An educational project for teenagers, where they will express their opinions on the future of Ukraine, offer their own concepts, and analyze the works of famous intellectuals.
Context
Over the past year, the question of Ukraine’s place in the world and its future has become a major topic of reflection not only for Ukrainians but also for world leaders. Many experts are coming up with their own ideas every day, including why we will win and what our country will look like after the war. However, these discussions have long since lost their age restrictions. Teenagers are also interested in the future of Ukraine. They, like everyone else, are also experiencing the burden of war. This makes them think: what’s next? That is why we need to develop a platform for such reflections, because our future depends on their outcome.
Mission
Through philosophical seminars, we are going to create a community of teenagers where they can express their thoughts, discuss, look for like-minded people, and form their own vision of the future of Ukraine. At the dialogues, young people will analyze texts by famous thinkers and give their opinions on the relevance of certain thoughts.
- Motivated teenagers aged 14-16
We invite motivated teenagers aged 14-17, who are studying in the 10th grade, ready to think outside the box, take responsibility for changes in society and become a voice for progressive ideas.

The pilot project was organized together with The Aspen Institute Kyiv for 16 teenagers who had applied for the School of Success project but were not accepted. After the project, we realized that the development of critical thinking, leadership, and value formation is essential for today’s youth.
