October 29-30, 2020, Otyniya Lyceum presented the project “Establishment of the Social School Enterprise ‘Ethno-code’” whose partners are the Agents of Changes. This project is carried out within the project “Establishment of social school enterprises in the rural area and towns of Ukraine to promote social entrepreneurship among the youth in Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhytomyr, and Donetsk oblasts”.

Participation in the project will make it possible for children to scrutinize the whole business process as the project fully covers all the stages of business from establishing an enterprise, making a product, promoting it on the market to working with the client concerning its realization. Why is social enterprise in question? Because children should be taught since their school age to be conscious citizens and socially active people. Social enterprise at school is one of the best ways to teach students entrepreneurial culture and volunteerism. Owing to the project, children will be able to improve their chances to successfully self-realize in the future.

Under the conditions of innovative changes in the development of modern education, the society urgently needs creative, active, talented citizens capable of their self-determination in life. The modern philosophy of education aims at forming the spiritual world of a personality, setting universal values, discovering potentialities and abilities of every child, providing optimal conditions for their life self-realization. Educational activity should not only give education seekers the sum of knowledge and skills, but also form their competence as a general ability based on knowledge, experience, values and abilities.

All the present were addressed by the director of the MEI “Otyniya Lyceum” Nataliya Hryniv, the project mentor of the East Europe Foundation Olha Oleynichenko, the director of the Project and Educational Centre “Agents of Changes” at the Precarpathian National University Svitlana Kropelnytska. The project participants were also greeted by the representatives of the IFNOPO “Public Initiative” Oleksandr Levytsky and Serhiy Bodnarchuk.
