our main partner in the government is the ministry of education and science, with whom we work closely to solve these problems. we also help coordinate the efforts of development partners and other stakeholders, through educational and sectoral coordination mechanisms. in particular, we participate in several initiatives. first, we helped the government develop programs to compensate for educational losses. in addition, we supported the development of a national strategy for inclusive education and curriculum reform at the political level. now the country

is in the process of integration into the eu. education is a priority area on the agenda of the european union, with an emphasis on early and preschool development. we strive to ensure that as many young children as possible have access to school education. received the necessary support. we also support schools, teachers and students, especially in frontline areas. in particular, providing digital devices for online learning. delivered nearly 100,000 digital devices to... schools, allowing

students to continue distance learning if they cannot study face-to-face. in addition, we help in the development of educational content. wherever possible, we try to help the government and the ministry to improve the school infrastructure and all the necessary. services in particular, we support the creation of a second metro school in kharkiv to provide children with a proper learning environment. of course, no one would want children to study underground, but i personally visited the first underground school, and we understand that this is our reality at the moment. and therefore we must adapt and

expand our support. only in 2023 we helped almost 1,300 thousand ukrainian children gain access to formal and informal education, including early learning. we have established 32 digital education centers to facilitate face-to-face learning and remedial education. especially in the frontline areas. we also provide support for children from three to five years old. providing opportunities for informal preschool education and planning to expand these services. our initiatives are also aimed at providing social support to schoolchildren. we implement various

programs to support teenagers and young people through non-formal education, equipping them with skills for future employment and productivity in today's challenges. and also for them to be able to participate in the recovery and do their part. you mentioned that children are the most vulnerable, and my next question is about them: in this troubling time , many children have lost their parents, and unfortunately many of them end up in orphanages and special institutions, as far as i know, you have a special project to help such... this reform is not new for ukraine.

even before the war, there were many initiatives that promoted the so-called reform of childhood protection, designed to ensure that every child has a favorable family environment for development and growth. now, with the support of the country's leadership, the first lady and the government, we are implementing the better care for every child program, which focuses on ensuring adequate support for vulnerable children, especially those without parental care, one of

the components of this reform is to prevent family separation by identifying vulnerable families in difficult life circumstances. and providing them with the necessary assistance, whether monetary or ensuring access to services. in ukraine, a network of community-based resilience centers is also developing, and unicef is also supporting them in setting up services. in addition, we pay attention to children who need alternative forms of family care, such as foster care or adoption, so on international family day,

may 15, we together with the government, the office of the president, the coordination center for guardianship and care . according to the ministry of social policy launched the website children. which allows prospective adopters or foster parents to access information about children in need of support. and also to educational materials to make this process as efficient and simple as possible. according to our estimates, about 130,000 children in ukraine have complex protection needs, and approximately 700,000 children need improved access to social services. today, about 28,000 children

are in orphanages and boarding schools. that's why we focus on security better care and we want these children to have better alternatives. most of them have living parents or other relatives. so, with the help of proper child protection and social services for families, their divorce can be prevented. this is extremely important, because research shows that even one day a child spends in an orphanage or similar institution can harm their long-term development. because of the war, the number

of children with disabilities is increasing. we combine various reforms, in particular regarding inclusive education. if you provide more inclusive basic services for children, fewer children with disabilities end up in boarding schools or similar institutions. this is part of a wider reform and agenda. integration into the european union, as well as our emergency humanitarian response. for example, in kharkiv, 113 children are currently in foster families, or so-called small

group homes. but due to the security situation, they need to be evacuated. evacuation organization and all necessary support is provided by unis together with the local authorities. the month of june has been declared a global month parenting, during which we focus on raising awareness of the impact of protection and love. what activities are you planning this month and what is your organization doing to make this period of time particularly important and meaningful. parenting month is held every year, and

unicef aims to highlight the important role that parents and caregivers play in ensuring the well-being and harmonious development of children. as you know, for children, especially young children . it is very important that parents are emotionally involved. this is not only about provision of basic needs, such as breastfeeding and necessary support, but also the development of emotional bonds. if parents spend time with their children, both moms and dads, the better prospects for the child's long-term development. we know that during the last trimester

of pregnancy and the first thousand days of a child's life, i.e. from approximately zero to three years, the development of the child and its brain takes place in such a way that if you miss this period, it will not be possible to make up for anything in the future, this is crucial. period of development child, which affects his future life. so we use this month as an opportunity to convey this important information to parents and educators, and encourage them to spend more time on the development of their children, especially in the first years of life. at the same time, we know that parenting is a long-term

process that requires dedicated support until children become adults. there is also a special group of adolescent children, aged 10 to 14-16, who need special attention. this age group is unique because of how teenagers behave and socialize. in times of war, when mental health and psychosocial support become increasingly difficult. it is very important that parents and relatives are close to them, helping to alleviate anxiety and worry. that teenagers may feel, even if they

do not overtly show that they need better emotional relationships. we conducted a survey among different population groups and found out that parents of children aged three to six consider preschool age to be particularly difficult. 56% of respondents say no can send their children to kindergarten, which directly affects their development, to solve this problem and encourage parents and interested parties to do more in this area, we popularize the month of parenthood, among parents and the general audience. unecef joined the book arsenal book festival. and the children's

film festival, which will be held in different cities of the country. such activities contribute to a better understanding of the importance of early development of children. we explain why the early years. critically important, why children need parental care support, and why investments in children, especially early ones? age are fundamental for any nation, for ukraine, in the conditions in which we are and which are affected by the war for a long time, this is the biggest investment that the country can make. often , recovery efforts focus on infrastructure,

such as road repair and reconstruction, which is certainly important. however, if we do not invest in early childhood and children in time, we will not be able to recover and build a better country. the war will eventually end, but there will still be huge problems with mental and psychological rehabilitation of children who saw all these horrors. do you have projects related to the psychological and mental rehabilitation of children, and why efforts in this regard should be made now, and not... for more than two years, ukrainian children have been going through a traumatic experience, all these massive rocket attacks, air strikes, violence , isolation, forced displacement, separation from family, sometimes loss of loved ones,

interruption of education and other services and access to these services. even if the war ended today, the issue of psychological health and social well-being of children and future generations will be extremely difficult. and will need our attention for decades to come. i will give one more example. we estimate that because of the war, children in front-line areas spent between 2,800 and 500 hours in storage rooms, basements and air raid shelters. what does this mean for their future well-being and mental

health? also imagine that the war is over and the veterans are returning to their own. families with the stress and difficult experiences they are going through have passed how will it affect families? how will it affect the children? we already have psychological health and psychosocial support programs in place, focused on children and adolescents. we really cooperate with the ministry of health and other institutions. we joined the national tiyak program, we work to ensure that children have a space and access to psychological support to talk about the problems they face. that is why we offer mixed

classes, where in addition to learning, children can also to receive psychological in the long term, we will need targeted and professional support. we cooperate with institutions abroad, in particular in germany and other countries, to use their expertise in this field. we work with local universities, with government agencies to have specialized psychiatric services for children and to ensure that basic psychosocial support services are available. today, we have

mobile teams that travel to frontline communities and offer psychosocial support support for children. and families. we also provide more specialized services. together with the ministry of health, we are discussing the possibility of expanding the support network related to mental health on the basis of hospitals. we cooperate with the ministry of education and science so that all this becomes part of comprehensive work in schools. we train specialists, medical workers, teachers, and also offer support to social workers in communities and involve them. this is the work we are doing now, and we are convinced that in the coming years, we let's continue moving in this direction.

it is vital that mental health and psychosocial support are integrated into the service package in all areas. for example, we made sure that the sustainability centers created by the ministry of social policy included elements of psychological and psychosocial support for children and parents. we will continue this work through the education system. in health care, we need to make sure that children have access to different services, or that young people are able to attend youth services centers that can offer them support. in addition, during the war , we jointly created children's points at railway stations in many front-line areas. which provide a child-friendly environment where they can play and where we give them back the childhood stolen by war. thank you for this

greetings, friends, this week, for sure, one of the most striking news in the world of culture was certainly the news that we will soon have a film adaptation of the tereodors from vosyukivka, all volodenistayka, but it is not yet certain, knowing how little it is now. yes our cinematographic process is faltering, but at least the moviegoers bought the rights to the film adaptation, we will talk to them today, ask them how they see the film adaptation, because there are many different irritating moments, first of all, they love the book vsevola tostayka as an unconditional bestseller, i will not be afraid of it words, millions of people, children and adults, but there is still a question whether

the authors will satisfy. people's tastes or expectations, because there will definitely be expectations, because the news, actually, about the idea of ​​nationalization has already spread, and there are also different moments are also contradictory to sovietism, because you remember, there are many episodes, and there are ideological moments that are disputed in literary circles, whether to delete them or not, some say that it is impossible to delete anything from the book, you just have to to write signatures, disclaimers, to explain that this was such an era and such were the realities, accordingly, in schools, too, speak accordingly with children. we will talk about all this with the authors in literally 15 minutes, but for now i will tell you about what we generally have in our cinema to show to children, because there is a popular opinion that we do not have much content for children, if we even talk broadly, not only about cinema,

but also about... television content, which is bad, bad, gory- mountains that our children and teenagers, teenagers do not have anything to watch, and i want to say that if we talk about television series, we really do not have such examples, although some are quite decent, for example, like the first swallows, two seasons, the series is absolutely, it seems luxurious to me, but let's remember what we have from such the most vivid or the most discussed. regardless of the quality, well, for sure, in the first place, in any case, we have a mavka, because this tape is the highest grossing of all ukrainian films and the highest grossing of all films that were released in ukrainian distribution, if i'm not mistaken, to be precise in terms of money, and this is an incredible success, i personally did not expect such a thing, the cartoon was expected for a long time, there was a lot of advertising campaign, you could go to

the supermarket for merch. as you can see all these different, i don't know, any goods with a mauve, and an outline of a pile you can also buy it, or see it somewhere , most people liked the cartoon, although there were criticisms, and probably the most criticized, they say, somehow everything looks disney-like, not ours, and i understood that the disney style is considered bad by these people, i personally liked the cartoon, so i am glad for it. success not only in ukraine, but also abroad. well, we also have a cartoon, one of the most popular, called the stolen princess, these are the same producers as mavka, the ua film, animagrad, and from the stolen princess that was, well, first of all, it was also a popular cartoon, it seems to me that it was quite well made, there the stars voiced the main characters, and this is also such a hollywood scheme, when stars of, for example,

show business are involved, and here they are. in any case, something is voiced there, dubbed, but the question is that this cartoon is based on pushkin, now many people are triggered by pushkin, and then, well, in 2018, somehow not very well, of course there were many voices that somehow it was not very well it's cool, yes, to shoot a cartoon based on pushkin during the war, but there were such voices much less, i am sure that if this cartoon had already been released now, there would be a scandal with... much more, and also the cartoon, well, by the way, if you watch it, it talks about kyiv, everything in the trailer itself emphasizes that this is kyiv, everything happens in kyiv, let's take a look, this is kyiv, a wonderful city, it is ruled by the glorious prince volodymyr, and this is me, an ordinary troubadour actor, hello, why did you fall asleep there, ruslan?
