The Goal: To provide disadvantaged Ukrainian children, such as children of military personnel, orphans, and from low-income families, a safe space, away from the war.

Dynamics of the Camp: Our participants will be part of an international camp where they will meet other children around their ages, from countries such as: Germany, Austria, Ireland, UK, Bulgaria, Spain, Qatar, UAE, Romania, USA, Canada, Russia, Netherlands, and Belgium. The camp will foster diversity, life-long-skills, teamwork, and friendship. The camp will be in English.

They can choose from the following courses: Drama, International Relations, Debate, Creative Writing and Journalism, Spanish, Web Design, US History, Intro to Business, and Marketing/Vlogging.
