Our history

The organization was founded by a group of students from the National University of Ostroh Academy. At first, it was an initiative team of journalists and cyberneticians who created gamified solutions during hackathons.

Work directions

Non-formal education

We conduct trainings, workshops and educational programs for youth. The format — interactive classes, practical cases and group work that help better absorb knowledge.

Educational games

We develop educational games and simulations that help study complex topics through experience. Suitable for youth, educators and organizations.

Working with educators

We enhance the competencies of people who work with youth: from violence prevention to gamification of the educational process. We conduct trainings, learning sessions, create working tools.

About us

The civil society organization was founded in the fall of 2021 and from the beginning of its activities has been focused on the development of non-formal education in Ukraine and the creation of gamified tools. We work on shaping a conscious civil society, provide psycho-educational support to youth and promote modern approaches to learning. We entered the TOP-3 social business startups according to Social Impact Award 2021 and received the title of best youth initiative and the NAS award at Action Forum. In 2024, we became finalists of the «Change Makers» competition, received the MES endorsement «Approved for use in the educational process» for our violence prevention game «KROK» and created the board game for student councils «Year of Decisions». We continue to work on developing new tools, collaborate with international partners and create projects for youth. More to come!
