“It’s a victory when the weapons fall silent and people speak up.”
— Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine
Our Purpose
The following curriculum covers multiple aspects of the war in Ukraine. Starting with the history of Ukraine and the Soviet Union and finishing with a look to the future, our curriculum,
Ukraine: The Price of Freedom, seeks to educate citizens around the globe about the struggles and triumphs of the Ukrainian people during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our hope is to bring awareness to parts of the world that do not face the daily horrors of war, and help shed light on what the true impacts of this conflict are. It is imperative that we recognize that this war is not over, and that a long fight lies ahead. But we urge you, stand with Ukraine.

- Dmytro Babych, Lviv State University of Life Safety
