What we're fundraising for

Each summer, our most dedicated and proactive students are rewarded with something extraordinary - two weeks at our partner summer schools in the UK and USA. We're fundraising to cover the cost of travel and visas.

Dozens of students have experienced these unforgettable trips since 2023. Placements are provided free of charge thanks to the incredible generosity of our summer school partners, including MPW, ISSOS, BOSS and International House.

Our students take part in exciting activities, make friends from all over the world, develop new skills, improve their English and immerse themselves in enriching new cultural experiences.

Summer school is a chance for students to feel safe and recharge, form lasting international connections and create memories that will help them stay positive through the challenging winter ahead in Ukraine.

"On my trip to Great Britain, the cultural differences struck me like nothing else. In this new environment, I learned not to be afraid to take initiative, and I became more open and confident. It wasn’t just fun – it was a huge step in my personal growth."

"This trip made me realise that communicating with people from different countries is an experience everyone should have."

Sasha, 11 years old

"I developed myself from so many perspectives. I improved my critical thinking, problem-solving and research skills. I also enhanced my time-management, self-awareness and listening skills – and most of all, boosted my confidence."
