    RGU Educational Conference “Odesa ID”

    Категорія : News

    A large-scale All-Ukrainian educational conference “Odesa ID,” organized by the All-Ukrainian Association of School Heads “Revival of Ukrainian Gymnasiums” (RGU), took place in Odesa at the base of municipal gymnasiums. The event brought together leading educators, school principals, scientists, and cultural figures from various regions of Ukraine to discuss the most crucial challenge of our time — systematic work with the national and civic identity of youth through the tools of education and culture.

    The conference became part of a major city initiative, “Odesa ID: Reboot,” which transitions from the logic of “proving” the city’s Ukrainian roots to the logic of self-evidence. The key speakers of the event were the leaders of VGU, as well as the laureate of the “People of Business” competition, Tetiana Zhornytska, who emphasized the importance of integrating spiritual, moral, and patriotic components into the daily educational process.

    The program of the event spanned several strategic panels, during which participants sought answers to current pressing questions:

    Cultural code in education: integrating the history of regional identity into the nationwide context;

    Media literacy lessons: protecting students from information manipulation and hostile narratives;

    Psychological resilience: creating a safe and supportive environment in educational institutions during times of change.

    Educators paid special attention to the youth environment, as it is exactly where the future values of Ukrainian society are formed. Participants got acquainted with the practical tools of the “Odesa ID” project, including interactive maps for schools and new curated routes that highlight Ukrainian history and prominent places of remembrance.
