Context

For 11 years, the Klitschko Foundation team has been implementing the School of Success project for teenagers from all over Ukraine. A total of 1426 teenagers have taken part in the project over this time. The School of Success project has been transformed into the School of Resilience in response to new challenges caused by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Teenagers are facing a difficult choice: to stay to study and work in Ukraine or to go abroad, not knowing what steps to take in the current realities. Therefore, it is now critical to provide young people with relevant knowledge, practical skills and the necessary support to reflect on their life's priorities and understand their importance here and now in their country.

Mission

To provide Ukrainian teenagers with the means to adapt to the changed realities, supporting their professional self-determination and personal growth, and to help them understand their role and importance in modern Ukraine, regardless of their chosen field of activity.

Who can participate?

  • Teenagers
Girls and boys aged 14-16 from different regions of Ukraine. The finalists of the project will be 24 boys and 24 girls.

Project format

The project will be held in a hybrid format. During the first stage of the project, participants will complete online training, and the second stage will include offline training and the implementation of local projects.

Project program

Online training

Everyone who fills out the application form will take part in an online training course that covers the main topics that are important for the development of teens.

    Participants will learn the basics of financial literacy, interpersonal communication, negotiations, and public speaking. The course will also include project management, covering goal setting, timeline and budget development, team selection, and risk management. Special attention will be given to social media management, marketing basics, and digital branding. Participants will have the opportunity to master CV writing and interview preparation skills. The course also covers artificial intelligence, media literacy and cybersecurity. All participants will attend lectures and complete practical assignments.
    The results of all tasks will be recorded, and based on the outcomes, 48 teenagers will be selected for the offline part of the project.

Offline part

A total of 24 girls and 24 boys from Ukraine will take part in the offline part of the project.

    Before the start, participants will receive teaching materials that will cover the topics to be discussed during the project. These topics will cover social, political, legal, economic aspects, urbanism, and issues of urban and community recovery. This training format is innovative and different from traditional approaches of educational institutions, as it is based on real cases faced by leading Ukrainian companies.

    Each day will be divided into 3 parts:

    • In the morning, a speaker will present the topic of the day to the participants.
    • Then the participants will receive a social responsibility case, which they will analyse and propose their own solution based on the knowledge gained.
    • In the afternoon, the participants will visit the company where the case arose and present their solution. Afterwards, they will receive feedback from the company's representatives and learn about their experience in solving this issue. They will also have the opportunity to learn more about the company's activities, development and future goals.
Local projects

All participants of the offline part of the project are required to implement a local project upon returning to their communities.

    Participants are free to choose the idea and format of the project. It is important that the project reflects the values and transfers the knowledge that the organisers have gained during the offline part of the project. Only those who have successfully implemented a local project will receive a certificate of participation in the project.

Project alumni meeting

After these activities, we will all meet up.

    We will hold a one-day meeting of the project alumni to present the results of their local projects, network among participants, and present certificates.
