“After the successful completion of the action, I would admit that the Fellowship definitely strengthened my inner spirit and gave me ambitions to apply my leadership skills for making changes in my community. This is what I have always dreamed about! I am honored that the project covered all over Ukraine and involved the students/teachers and parents of different backgrounds. Our team was more than delighted to see a huge interest evolving from the national decision-makers; for example, the Ministry of Education sent an official letter to the regional departments to promote the course at the local Ukrainian schools. As well as the Ministry of Digital Transformation provided information support to the project. The latter increased our motivation to continue our engagement in the field of digital rights and security. As of today, our team is working on a new project in collaboration with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. On top of that, I personally have developed a specific personal goal – Improving  the digital environment for children in Ukraine.”  – Viktoriia OMELIANENKO
