Global Teacher Prize Ukraine and the Eastern Europe Foundation will recognize the best innovative teacher

This year, the Global Teacher Prize Ukraine, together with the Eastern Europe Foundation, presents the “Teacher-Innovator” nomination.

The winner will receive 250 thousand hryvnias to realize his educational dream. We remind you that 1+1 media and Kyivstar TV are media partners of the award.

The partners of the nomination are the Swiss-Ukrainian program EGAP, implemented by the Eastern Europe Foundation, as well as the state digital educational ecosystem Mriya. This award is for those teachers who change the educational process with the help of innovative approaches, methods and solutions, motivating students to learn and develop.

“The Eastern Europe Foundation, within the framework of the Swiss-Ukrainian program EGAP, systematically supports innovations in education, in particular through the development of the Mriya school ecosystem, which helps schools develop and implement new solutions. But it is no less important to support those who create these changes. For us, the "Teacher-Innovator" nomination is about people who do not just implement modern approaches, but do it with warmth, with care for children, with a desire to truly interest, inspire, and help them open up. It is these teachers that we want to support and celebrate,” — noted Viktor Lyakh, President of the Eastern Europe Foundation.

Innovation is not only about technology. The educational reality of recent years shows that real changes begin with new ideas. Within the New Ukrainian School, more and more teachers are using integrated STEM courses, case methods, gamification, and QR quests, which contributes to the development of critical thinking, student engagement, and creativity. New approaches allow you to create meaningful and lively lessons even in difficult conditions.

If there is a teacher near you who changes learning for the better, experiments, inspires students, and opens up new horizons for them, it is time to nominate him or her. And if you are someone who creates innovations in the classroom every day, don’t hesitate. Apply, fill out the application form, and become part of the community of the best educators in the country.
