Subject: Foreign literature, Ukrainian literature, and language, Ukrainian language (writing + reading) (primary school)

Lydia’s students compile mini-collections of fairy tales, record interviews, and write fan fiction in Ukrainian for social media. Lidiia and her students create games for lessons on the learning apps portal, record podcasts, draw comics and play historical epochs. The teacher also integrates the Ukrainian language with mathematics and geography, forming interdisciplinary connections with students. In the future, Lydiia wants to develop a project of creative writing “Write for the soul” for children in hospitals.

«My task as a teacher is to show how to be a part of the world community, a citizen of the world. Not passive spectators, but confident players who change it for the better».
