Viktor Nestulia emphasized that DREAM helps analyze the need, better plan restoration, create projects, and present them to the world—both at the community level and based on strategic decisions at the national level. <img alt="DSC_6049.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_6049_506b03c324.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_6049_506b03c324.jpg 230w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_6049_506b03c324.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_6049_506b03c324.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_6049_506b03c324.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> He added that the ecosystem builds international partners' trust in Ukraine's restoration process. The governments of Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Switzerland, as well as international financial organizations, including the European Investment Bank and charitable organizations, are among the donors already cooperating with DREAM and financing restoration projects. For his part, Denys Ivanov, Head of Implementation, DREAM Project Office, spoke about the results of the distribution of state subvention for the arrangement of shelters and food blocks in educational institutions using the ecosystem. He noted that those communities with experience with DREAM and trained to work with the system had a particular advantage and could apply for subventions more efficiently and quickly. <img alt="DSC_6075.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_6075_23764dbb02.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_6075_23764dbb02.jpg 227w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_6075_23764dbb02.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_6075_23764dbb02.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_6075_23764dbb02.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Today, the ecosystem contains more than 7,800 projects worth UAH 426.39 billion from more than 1,200 communities, 24 regional administrations, 17 ministries, the Agency for Restoration and its regional services, etc. In particular, all 69 communities of the Kyiv region work with DREAM, with 1480 projects and a total budget of UAH 85.73 billion. At the same time, 95 projects in the Kyiv region have already been fully funded, and another 286 have received partial funding from both state and local budgets and through the support of international partners. The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) supports the region's education projects. According to Volodymyr Strokan, KfW, UNICEF project coordinator, one condition for the fund's support for the restoration project is it is added to the DREAM ecosystem. <img alt="DSC_6050.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/DSC_6050_fc358016cb.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_DSC_6050_fc358016cb.jpg 213w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_DSC_6050_fc358016cb.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_DSC_6050_fc358016cb.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_DSC_6050_fc358016cb.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> - DREAM allows us to understand the scale and directions of restoration in Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Zhytomyr community has received more than 16 thousand internally displaced persons. Both small and large businesses were relocated here. Supporting entrepreneurs during the war is vital to preserving business, jobs, and economic recovery in Ukraine. That is why the Entrepreneurship Labs project was initiated in Zhytomyr, which aims to create a sustainable ecosystem for industrial support and development and help micro and small businesses scale up.&nbsp; The project envisages arranging a production workshop for single-series and small-scale processing of wood, metal, polymers, composites, etc., and a coworking space for 24 people, which will be used jointly by workshop residents and relocated businesses. The workshop is planned to be free for visitors, and it will help microenterprises or self-employed individuals gain access to modern production infrastructure to develop a prototype of their product or start small-scale production.&nbsp; <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rzgwFLsf5yc?si=sPr1E3D6xsPRMVOA" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> The Entrepreneurship Lab project was among 12 winners of the grant competition for infrastructure rehabilitation under the Support for Rapid Economic Recovery of Ukrainian Municipalities (SRER) project implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Ukraine. - Before making the project application, we previously held additional consultations and meetings with, among others, businesses located in Zhytomyr and studied their need for production equipment to scale or resume their business activities in the city of Zhytomyr,- said Borys Pakholiuk, director of the City Development Agency of the Zhytomyr City Council. As of September 2024, work has begun on reсonstructing and repairing two premises allocated for the project. The project has been added to the DREAM ecosystem - https://bit.ly/3BaDNdY Its total budget is UAH 22.3 million. The DREAM ecosystem allows you to be more media and publicly visible on the all-Ukrainian map of restoration projects, showcase yourself, and talk about your project and its implementation progress. This platform is used by international partners, and it is important for them to see that the projects they support are being actively implemented and progressing, added Borys Pakholyuk. The opening of the Entrepreneurship Lab in Zhytomyr is scheduled for March 2025. According to the DREAM analytics module (https://bi.dream.gov.ua/), 186 projects from the Zhytomyr region with a total budget of UAH 1.47 billion have been added to the ecosystem.&nbsp; The DREAM Project Office created the material within the GIZ Ukraine Sustainable Society Cluster framework, funded by the German Government and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

Projects in DREAM: Entrepreneurship Laboratory in Zhytomyr

Children in Borodyanka, Ukraine, welcomed the end of summer and Ukraine's Independence Day in a newly built kindergarten. The project to equip the kindergarten, which will welcome around 120 children, was implemented by the Central Project Management Agency (CPVA) and financed by Lithuania and Taiwan, which contributed €500,000 to the project. According to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, around 3000 schools and kindergartens in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed since the start of the war. The kindergarten “Pinocchio” is one of three kindergartens in Borodyanka that were destroyed by Russian attacks.&nbsp; According to the kindergarten’s director Iryna Nosova, the kindergarten was the one that was damaged by Russian attacks in the beginning of March, 2022. It was covered in smoke, and dust, the windows were broken, the trees were uprooted and everything inside, like toys, furniture and doors were shattered and mixed with glass – no one could attend the premises. “We had to operate in another kindergarten where we could only accommodate four groups. Parents were calling us, but we had to turn them down, especially those with very young children, because we had neither the space nor the equipment to accommodate them. Parents were eagerly waiting for our kindergarten to reopen, as some had attended it themselves as children. They even register newborns to eventually attend this kindergarten. When I posted a small announcement on social media that the kindergarten was reopening, many couldn’t believe that it was actually true. The news is spreading through the town by word of mouth,“ said I. Nosova. The opening ceremony of the kindergarten, which took place on Ukraine's Independence Day, was attended by the local community, the children and their parents, Ukrainian government officials and Lithuania’s vice-minister of Foreign Affairs Simonas Šatūnas. "The rebuilt kindergarten is further proof that Ukraine is moving firmly into the future. I am pleased that Ukraine has so many different partners helping it on this path. We will continue to do our utmost to ensure that children grow up and live in a free and secure Ukraine," said S. Šatūnas.&nbsp; &nbsp;The project also included the improvement of the kindergarten's outdoor environment, the construction of playgrounds with paths and pergolas, and the provision of all the necessary furniture and equipment, such as tables, gym furniture, kitchen and gym equipment, as well as play areas. The kindergarten is now ready for the in-person educational process and the staff and pupils have returned to the kindergarten, where they will continue their education in the Borodyanka School “Lithuanian-Ukrainian Lyceum No. 1.”, which was also renovated using funds allocated by Lithuania. According to Artūras Žarnovskis, head of the “Co-Create Future of Ukraine” programme, life in Ukraine has not come to a stop even in the face of war. For this reason, while children seeking education in Ukraine face particularly dire situations, it is important to make every effort to ensure that they also have the opportunity to experience as normal a childhood as possible - to attend kindergartens and schools where they not only learn, but also socialise and foster relationships with their peers. A. Žarnovskis continued that the kindergarten is not only a building but also a symbol of hope, the country's investment in a bright future. “Education is the foundation of a strong, resilient state - the fact that a country that’s constantly under attack is rebuilding kindergartens demonstrates its determination and faith in victory because Ukraine's reconstruction after the victory will also depend on the new generation. Education is one of our top priorities in the context of Ukraine's recovery projects - we have previously rebuilt a kindergarten with a shelter in Irpin, we are now implementing a new programme of building five shelters next to schools near the frontline, and we are selecting the winner of the international architectural competition "Future School for Ukraine", whose adaptive technical design will be available to the Ukrainian authorities and other international partners involved in reconstruction processes in the country. We are happy that our efforts are turning into real results - the children of Borodyanka will be able to attend kindergarten again," explained Artūras Žarnovskis. Lithuania finances reconstruction projects in Ukraine through the Fund for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid.

Distribution of subventions through DREAM: funding for 159 school canteens approved

Since the first days of the full-scale invasion, Bila Krynytsia village in the Kherson region has been several kilometers from the front line and subjected to constant shelling. The hostilities significantly damaged the village's critical and social infrastructure, housing stock, and school building, where 362 children studied before the war. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/BK_shkola_rujnuvannya_df02e24b45.jpg" alt="БК школа руйнування.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_BK_shkola_rujnuvannya_df02e24b45.jpg 208w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_BK_shkola_rujnuvannya_df02e24b45.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_BK_shkola_rujnuvannya_df02e24b45.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_BK_shkola_rujnuvannya_df02e24b45.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> Under these conditions, education could only be conducted online, especially since almost half of the schoolchildren had left the village. The community is implementing two projects allowing children to return to safe offline learning. &nbsp;<h2>Project #1. Restoration of the school building and gym &nbsp;</h2>After the liberation of the right-bank Kherson region, the Velyko Oleksandrivska community, which includes Bila Krynytsia, began rebuilding the school in the village independently. The building's roof has now been restored, and a working project for overhauling the premises has been prepared. Project in DREAM - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bit.ly/4dyXdah">https://bit.ly/4dyXdah</a><h2> Project #2. Construction of a school shelter</h2> In 2023-24, 280 children graduated from Bilokrynytsia school. To ensure a safe learning environment, the community has decided to build a school shelter. Part of the funds were allocated from the local budget, and the project will also receive funding from a state subvention distributed through the DREAM ecosystem. The shelter will be designed for 300 people. Construction has already begun, and all work is going according to plan. Therefore, starting in the 2025 academic year, we plan to resume full-time education, - said school principal Hanna Perezva. <img src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/bila_kriniczya_direktor_ff69886ecd.jpg" alt="біла криниця директор.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_bila_kriniczya_direktor_ff69886ecd.jpg 208w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_bila_kriniczya_direktor_ff69886ecd.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_bila_kriniczya_direktor_ff69886ecd.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_bila_kriniczya_direktor_ff69886ecd.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> According to the project, the shelter will be insulated and have an autonomous heating system from a heat pump, solar panels to provide additional (backup) power and a drinking water tank. Barrier-free principles will be considered: a universal sanitary and hygienic room will be built for people with disabilities, and tactile navigation and a lift will be provided. &nbsp;- The construction of the shelter will provide an opportunity to study not only for children from Bila Krynytsia but also from neighboring settlements where educational institutions are currently closed due to the destruction, - said Olena Kobeliatska, Head of the Department of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports of the Velyka Oleksandrivka Village Council. &nbsp;The total budget of the project is UAH 65.8 million.

Safe education: Restoration of a school and a shelter construction. Bila Krynytsia, Kherson region

After the full-scale invasion began, all educational institutions in Pokrov, the Dnipropetrovsk region, offered distance learning as the only available, including Pokrov Lyceum #8, which had nearly 400 students. The school has no premises that can be used as a protective structure. Therefore, to return the children to full-time education, it was decided to build a new radiation protection shelter. The project envisages the construction of a free-standing underground monolithic reinforced concrete structure with three evacuation exits. The shelter will be equipped to accommodate 900 people, including people with disabilities. This includes the lyceum's visitors and students of two other nearby schools. The community raised funds from the local budget to implement the project. In addition, the shelter project received state subvention funds, which were distributed this year using the DREAM ecosystem. <img alt="покров.png" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/pokrov_1a70a05628.png" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_pokrov_1a70a05628.png 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_pokrov_1a70a05628.png 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_pokrov_1a70a05628.png 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_pokrov_1a70a05628.png 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> As of July 25, 2024, the contractor signed a contract to carry out the work, and the foundation for the shelter was prepared.

Work is underway to excavate and remove soil from the pit along approved routes. Creating the project and working with DREAM was a novelty for everyone. But everything is not as scary as it seemed when applying for a subvention. We are currently working on reporting on the work performed, — said Viktoriia Lozhchenko, a civil engineer in the economic group of the Education Department of the Executive Committee of the Pokrov City Council. <img alt="покров1.jpg" src="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/pokrov1_3f1493c0e6.jpg" srcset="https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/thumbnail_pokrov1_3f1493c0e6.jpg 245w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/small_pokrov1_3f1493c0e6.jpg 500w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/medium_pokrov1_3f1493c0e6.jpg 750w, https://cms.dream.gov.ua/uploads/large_pokrov1_3f1493c0e6.jpg 1000w" sizes="100vw" width="1000"> You can check the project in DREAM by following the link: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://bit.ly/3WquehJ">https://bit.ly/3WquehJ</a> There are short reports on other projects for the construction/repair of civil protection structures in educational institutions of Dnipropetrovsk oblast that received state subvention funds.

The DREAM Project Office has introduced an LMS (Learning management system) http://academy.dream.gov.ua/ that streamlines the creation, delivery, and reporting of training courses and programs at the DREAM Academy, enhancing the learning experience for all. Creating an online platform will provide equal access to training and teaching materials for all and facilitate electronic document management, training, assignment checking, feedback, communication, etc. - One of our main tasks in implementing DREAM is training and supporting communities. We offer a variety of training materials and technical solutions to strengthen the capacity of project initiators. For almost a year of work, the DREAM Academy team has held over 60 training events - webinars, offline trainings, workshops - reaching tens of thousands of community representatives from all over Ukraine. The creation of the educational platform academy.dream.gov.ua allows us to form a methodological framework, systematize access to academic and practical materials, and provide users with opportunities for self-education and testing, - said Larysa Snigiryova, Head of the DREAM Academy, DREAM Project Office. The platform is being actively filled and improved. Already, you can find information and training materials in various formats, including instructions, articles, webinar recordings, and FAQs. Our platform is designed with your convenience in mind. In a user-friendly calendar format, the bulk events are announced with the possibility of registering participants. DREAM Academy's next step in platform development will be:<ul><li>launching a full-fledged knowledge base (to replace instructions in Google documents);</li><li>creating distance programs, courses, development of test tasks;</li><li>and training to develop an expanded list of hard and soft skills.</li></ul>

School canteens: applying period for subventions through DREAM started

The Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES) has reviewed projects for state funding to overhaul or construct shelters in general secondary education institutions. This year, communities submitted projects through DREAM. From April 18 to April 26, 108 projects were submitted for funding from the subvention. The regional military administrations approved 64 projects, considering the strategic vision of the region's development and understanding of the security situation. The MES Commission selected 50 projects to receive funding. These are projects for repairing and constructing shelters, mainly in 8 frontline and border regions. The total cost of these projects is UAH 2.19 billion. The approved projects include:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Kharkiv Oblast - construction of 5 anti- radiation shelters and storage facilities and overhaul of 1 anti-radiation protection shelter;</li><li>Dnipropetrovsk oblast - construction of 6 anti-radiation shelters and storage facilities and overhaul of 2 dual-purpose structures;&nbsp;</li><li>Zaporizhzhia oblast - construction of 5 anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Chernihiv oblast - construction of 5 anti-radiation shelters and repair of 2 anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Mykolaiv oblast - construction of 3 shelters and repair of 4 protective structures and anti-radiation shelters;</li><li>Kherson oblast - construction of 3 protective structures and overhaul of 1 basement;</li><li>Odesa oblast - construction of 3 dual-purpose structures and repair of 1 structure;</li><li>Sumy region - construction of 4 and repair of 1 anti- radiation shelter.</li></ul>&nbsp;In addition, 4 projects in Cherkasy, Mykolaiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Chernihiv regions will receive state funding to complete the construction of shelters started in 2023. Under the terms of the subvention, such projects should have already been funded and completed by at least 40%. The estimate of projects in some regions is less than the amount allocated by the government, so soon, communities will be able to submit their projects as part of the additional subvention and receive approval from the Regional Military Administration and consideration by the commission. Details on the additional subvention will be published on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science. It is worth reminding that the subvention for shelter in 2024 has been distributed among general secondary education institutions that operate in distance and/or mixed forms of education. The government has identified 8 priority regions and the maximum amount of state funding.<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Kharkiv oblast &nbsp;- UAH 500 million;</li><li>Dnipropetrovsk oblast - UAH 500 million;</li><li>Zaporizhzhia oblast - UAH 500 million;</li><li>Mykolaiv oblast - UAH 200 million;</li><li>Kherson oblast - UAH 200 million;</li><li>Odesa oblast - UAH 150 million;</li><li>Sumy oblast - UAH 150 million;</li><li>Chernihiv oblast - UAH 150 million.&nbsp;</li></ul> These regions need priority funding, as hundreds of thousands of children cannot return to full-time education due to the lack of shelters. Communities that haven't received funds to equip safe educational spaces will be able to raise funds from other sources, such as international partners or donors. If communities want to receive additional funding, they can use the DREAM system. For more information, please follow the link. Additional materials on the development of design and estimate documentation, arrangement and financing of shelters can be found on the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fortetsia.gov.ua/">fortetsia.gov.ua</a> portal. Separately, you can review already developed reuse projects and adapt them to the needs of the educational institution. Some of these projects have already been used by hromadas as part of their subvention applications.

Safe education: projects for the construction of school shelters at the expense of subventions were selected

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has introduced a procedure for granting subventions that focuses on the purchase of equipment and the creation and modernization of canteens in general secondary education institutions. The Ministry of Education and Science (MOES) will now select projects using the DREAM system, that ensures a fair and transparent allocation of funds. In 2024, the state budget of Ukraine provides for a UAH 1.5 billion subvention for the modernization of canteens. Communities will submit projects through the DREAM ecosystem to receive the subvention. Under the new procedure, the DREAM system plays a crucial role in the project selection process. It aids in the prioritization of projects, forming lists by region and for each type of technological catering model. These lists are then reviewed and verified by a commission established by the Ministry of Education and Science, which ultimately decides the final list of projects to be funded by the subvention. This streamlined mechanism ensures faster, more transparent, and more efficient allocation of funds.&nbsp; The main requirements for receiving a subvention include<ul><li>availability of design and estimate documentation or terms of reference for design;</li><li>establishment within a year or availability of a kitchen factory in the region where the project is planned to be implemented;</li><li>the presence of several adjacent educational institutions receiving services to the school where the hub kitchen will be located;</li><li>safety of the educational process (full-time/mixed learning, availability of shelters, or provision of shelters by the end of the calendar year);&nbsp;</li><li>co-financing from local budgets;&nbsp;</li><li>an integrated approach that involves the purchase of equipment, reconstruction, and overhaul of premises;&nbsp;</li><li>project completion by the end of the current year.&nbsp;</li></ul> The MOES team and DREAM are committed to supporting the regions at every stage of applying for a subvention. From creating project documentation to implementing the project, we are here to guide and assist you. We remind you that the procedure for distributing subvention for constructing shelters in educational institutions was successfully launched in April. As a result, 50 projects were selected for funding. Thus, the Ministry of Education and Science became the first ministry to cooperate with the DREAM ecosystem within the framework of financial programs.
