Goncharenko Centres Network: Bringing Education to the People of Ukraine in the Times of Peace and War
Goncharenko Centres network started its operation in 2021, and since then has founded its hubs in 30-plus cities and towns across the country. Its main mission has always been to provide free education of high quality to Ukrainians who need it, wherever their location is, and the Russian full-scale invasion didn't stop it.
Centres' representatives will discuss their network's history and development, obstacles in centres' operation and the way the Russian invasion has redirected their work.

Such a background has made her into one of the most ardent supporters of bringing quality education to Ukrainians of all ages, but primarily young people, so that they could work for the bright future of our country.
Yuliia Zasik, PR-specialist of the Goncharenko Centres network.
