What it reported doing in 2024

The goal of kids of ukraine is to facilitate the psychological rehabilitation and socialisation of idp children and children of military personnel in new communities. To achieve this goal, we develop and implement methods for restoring mental health, effective extracurricular learning, and a positive vision of the future based on the ideas of european values and ukrainian identity.in response to these challenges, kids of ukraine is implementing the svity programme, which organises a network of permanent clubs in safe regional centres of ukraine (lviv, khmelnytskyi, cherkasy, zhytomyr), psychological rehabilitation camps and mountain camps in the carpathians with the involvement of psychologists, therapists and rehabilitation coaches. The main audience of the project is adolescents aged 12-16. The sviti programme helps to address the problem of deteriorating mental health of children of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and children of military personnel, fills gaps in educational and developmental programmes, and has great potential for scaling up both in wartime and post-war. The programme's activities cover the following thematic areas: psychological health - group, family, individual therapy, forest therapy, art therapy (drawing, clay work, making rag dolls, bracelets, etc.), music therapy, body work. Out-of-school education - trainings, master classes, workshops (career guidance, financial literacy, cybersecurity, etc.) communication skills - acting, public speaking, self-presentation, english classes. Formation of civic consciousness and ukrainian identity - volunteering, work in mutual support groups, development of humanitarian and educational projects (a system of volunteer alumni who have completed the wit programme is currently being developed and implemented). Safety and information hygiene - first aid courses, conflict resolution, social media safety, media safety and critical thinking. Physical health - sports activities: tennis, badminton, climbing wall, yoga, dancing, hiking, etc. Entertainment and recreation - games (board games, educational games), film screenings (discussions), excursions. Over the almost 2 years of the svity programme, 4 teenage clubs have been established in lviv, zhytomyr, khmelnytskyi, cherkasy, and 8 summer teenage rehabilitation camps have been organised, and a number of events have been held in germany for ukrainian refugee children. As of the beginning of july 2024, almost 1400 children of idp families have already benefited from the support programme.
