Since the start of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine, Natalia Lymonova has actively promoted Ukraine as a brand. She has also highlighted Ukraine as a country of highly talented developers, intellectuals, and creatives. This has attracted foreign investments during this critical time for our nation. It is an honor for us to work with such high-level individuals.
The Board of Directors is led by Natalia Lymonova, with a team including Khrystyna Seryozhechkina (Kooperative), Yuriy Balkin (Optima School), Maxym Pochebut (Sigma Software), Denys Skrypka (Nanit Robot), and Oleksandr Mandyrkin (Charitable Foundation “For the Future of Children”).
The EdTech Ukraine Association was officially established on September 24, 2024, during its founding meeting. The official presentation of the Association took place on October 17, 2024, in Kyiv. Its founders have gone through a long journey to turn this dream into reality. The appearance of this organization specializing in educational technologies in Ukraine is the result of the determined efforts of the best professionals in the EdTech industry.
EdTech Ukraine is a member of the European EdTech Alliance, a community that unites educational technology organizations from 30 European countries.
The mission of the Association is to form a powerful EdTech ecosystem in Ukraine. It aims to successfully develop projects both within the country and internationally. Additionally, the Association collaborates with European and global EdTech communities, fostering the development of educational technology innovations in Ukraine and worldwide.
In 2025, the Ukrainian School of Elites will continue addressing the problem of educational decline caused by the war.
In particular, the school will continue the work, started in September 2024, on the strategic project aiming to reach out to 10k+ of the teachers of the Ukrainian Language (mandatory for any University entry in Ukraine) and 100k+ students in a 5-year period.
While managing the project, we concluded a contractual agreement with top experts from uMOVA, an online platform specializing solely in the Ukrainian language. Their expertise extends beyond e-learning, also supporting teachers with innovative methodologies and educational resources.
By the end of August 2025, we plan to complete the project aiming to:
We believe in the power of focus and targeted help. Therefore, this strategic project will be our specific contribution to the country’s recovery from the war.
Joining the Association opens new opportunities for UASE for collaboration and partnership in the field of innovative education and EdTech. The Association unites the leaders of the EdTech industry in Ukraine, providing a platform for sharing experiences, ideas, and resources.
We are confident that our collaboration with EdTech Ukraine Association will be the key to the successful implementation of projects and the development of Ukrainian education.
Our projects include programs for psychological rehabilitation. For lasting, structured impact, we create and run educational and therapeutic programs aimed at psychological recovery and mental health. For quick, supportive help, we offer shorter sessions: seminars, webinars, workshops, and similar events.
In-Person Seminars
These events are held in person, allowing participants to engage directly, like seminars in classrooms or conference rooms.
Live Webinars
These are real-time online events (not pre-recorded videos), where participants can interact and ask questions.
Workshops
Typically short sessions led by experts in their fields, these workshops cover specialized topics. For example, in psychological rehab, you might find workshops in schema therapy, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and existential approaches, among others.

On October 5, 2024, Psychologist Olga Dmytrenko, a volunteer at the Ukrainian School of Elites, conducted a mental care training session titled “Self-Care” for Kyiv’s New Life Evangelical church community during the retreat and rehabilitation weekend in a forest area of Cherkasy region, 2 hour drive to the South from Ukraine’s capital.
Internally displaced people, the elderly, young students, and others were built up emotionally and psychologically. Olha shared latest scientific research data on self-care. And conducted a practical part of the session. The training was a treasure in view of the war trauma and the consequent permanent stress everyone is experiencing as long as the war continues.
The Ukrainian School of Elites is honored to be represented by such experts as Olha Dmytrenko, the professional with a big heart.
