EdCamp Ukraine (Ukrainian: ЕдКемп Україна) is a movement of educators in Ukraine. It is based on the principles of the worldwide EdCamp movement, which originated in the United States. Ukraine was the third country in Europe and the ninth in the world to join the original movement in 2014. As of 2020, EdCamp Ukraine is the second biggest EdCamp community in the world, and the biggest community of educators in Ukraine.

The EdCamp Ukraine movement is supported by a non-governmental, non-profit public organization of the same name, which focuses on improving the Ukrainian education system. EdCamp Ukraine organizes career-enhancement training for teachers, lobbies the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science for educational reforms, and organizes various projects for educators and students.

EdCamp Ukraine's 2018 initiative concerning the development of professional education succeeded in reforming the career-enhancement training process, in particular by de-monopolizing the government-sponsored professional education enterprises. As the initiative's result, in 2019 the new regulations of the Ministry allowed educators to develop their professional skills through a wider range of educational and scientific institutions, as well as through private and legal business ventures. Their education is funded by government or local budgets according to the "money follows the teacher" principle.

The anti-discrimination expertise of EdCamp Ukraine became a part of the Ministry's textbook-approval procedure. EdCamp Ukraine's activity led to the establishment of the New Ukrainian School (Ukrainian: Нова Українська Школа) reform, and to a variety of anti-corruption and de-bureaucratization procedures. For example, in 2019, two independent sources estimated that the de-bureaucratization reforms EdCamp Ukraine lobbied for decreased teacher paperwork by 20 to 30%.

EdCamp Ukraine's signature events are unconferences: free and independent events that focus on communication between educators, international experts, speakers, and government figures. Since 2015, EdCamp Ukraine has organized six national and 186 regional in-person and online unconferences. In 2020, more than 10,000 members attended the Sixth National unconference, which became the biggest online event in Ukraine (as recorded in the Ukraine Record Book).

History

The original movement

The original EdCamp movement was established in 2010, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US. The movement was created as an alternative source of professional development for educators and in response to American educators' complaints about the inefficiencies of their educational system. As of 2020, 44 countries have joined the movement.

In 2019, 2020 and 2021, the EdCamp format was acknowledged by the HundrED organization in their worldwide review of innovative education organizations.

In 2020, EdCamp US merged with the Digital Promise organization, which develops innovations for education especially through incorporating technology.

EdCamp Ukraine

Based on the principals of the original EdCamp movement, EdCamp Ukraine is a movement of Ukrainian educators based around a non-governmental, non-profit public organization that focuses on the independent professional development of educators nationwide. It also works on education system reformation and improvement. Ukraine became the third country in Europe and the ninth in the world to join the original movement. The members of the organization are called "white crows," describing people who seize change in their community and are not afraid to try alternative techniques.

The EdCamp Ukraine organization was founded by Oleksandr Elkin, and as of 2020 he still serves as its Head of Board. Prior to the foundation of the organization, Elkin worked for an IT company and developed programs to improve the Ukrainian education system, such as the school management system School Champion, a platform that connects Ukrainian education institutions. The EdCamp Ukraine organization was inspired by the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine.

The EdCamp Ukraine movement began in 2014, in Kharkiv, Ukraine. On December 29, 2015, the EdCamp Ukraine organization was officially registered as a non-profit public organization. In 2017, it launched a crowdfunding project to fund its first office, which was opened in Kharkiv in 2018. In 2019, the organization became the official owner of the EdCamp trade mark in Ukraine.

As of 2020, EdCamp Ukraine is the second biggest EdCamp community in the world and the biggest community of educators in the country, with a membership more than 40000. Of those, 21,802 work in Ukrainian schools, which is about 5% of all Ukrainian educators. According to research, the EdCamp movement is present in half of Ukrainian schools.

Unconferences

One of the key signature events of EdCamp Ukraine are the free unconferences held yearly in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Educators apply and participate in an oral interviewto be selected to attend.

Unconferences are "edutainment" (education/entertainment). Topics are shaped at the beginning of an event, and participants are the main authorities, meaning that every member of the unconference can become a speaker. This format makes it easier for educators to learn from each other, as its sessions are held a free discussion format.

Several main methods and principles of unconferences are:

  • Free attendance
  • Independence
  • Freedom of initiative
  • The "two legs" law, which implies that every member is free to build their own schedule within the event, attending any session or joining any discussion
  • The "long tale effect," which means that the most important steps are not made during the discussions or unconferences, but afterwards, when real action towards improvement is taken
  • The "speed-geeking" practice (a three-minute tête-à-tête conversation between members and speakers) to spur communication and make as many acquaintances as possible between members and experts at unconferences

Regional unconferences

After attending EdCamp Ukraine's unconferences, educators volunteer to hold regional unconferences, or mini-EdCamps, for their communities. These regional unconferences are held monthly in different Ukrainian education institutions. Between 2015 and 2020, there were 186 regional unconferences. In 2017, EdCamp Ukraine held around 40 regional unconferences in different Ukrainian cities, supported by the US Embassy and different Ukrainian companies.

In 2016, the EdCamp Ukraine team held a competition for educators to hold official mini-EdCamps in their cities, and received 25 applicants. From 2017 on, EdCamp Ukraine has provided support and financing to teachers who win the contest through their EdCamp in a Box program. Between 2015 and 2021, there were 234 regional unconferences. In 2021, EdCamp Ukraine held around 45 regional unconferences in different Ukrainian cities.

EdCamp Ukraine began developing EdCamp in a Box in 2016. In 2017, the organization established the project EdCamp in a Box 3.0. The project provides competition winners with necessary documentation, support, and funds to hold a regional unconference in different Ukrainian cities.

Other projects for educators

In 2018, the I National summit-challenge "EdCamp-Angels in Action" was held in Odesa, Ukraine, and was visited by 100 mini-EdCamps coordinators from across the country. During the summit, nine organizations joined the union to support New Ukrainian School (Ukrainian: Нова Українська Школа) reform.

In 2018, EdCamp Ukraine published a book, Improving with EdCamp: How to hold educational unconferences for your community, which illustrates EdCamp Ukraine's main principles and education methods as well as step-by-step advice for offering a mini-EdCamp in any city. The same year, the organization introduced their own online course, How to Organize EdCamp for Your Community.

Also in 2018, three training sessions organized by EdCamp Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the United Nations Population Fund, and other Ukrainian organizations were held to certify experts for their anti-discrimination project. Forty-seven members attended to increase their knowledge and skills.

In October 2021, the EdCamp Ukraine team presented a course titled Educators' Professional Development: New Regulations And Possibilities, on the Ukrainian online course platform Prometheus. EdCamp Ukraine also has its own educational podcast on YouTube and Mixcloud online platforms.

Research and reforms in education

De-bureaucratization in schools

In 2016, EdCamp Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine took an anonymous poll of almost 8,000 educators in regard to paperwork. They used the research to introduce an initiative supporting de-bureaucratization in schools. In 2017, they published "Children and Paperwork: reaching balance in school" to report the results of the research, illustrating the issue from different angles and providing ideas for reforming school paperwork systems. Later in 2017, due to the anti-bureaucracy initiative, teachers were relieved of conducting the student census.

In 2018, the Ministry of Education and Science passed new regulations in regard to school documentation, decreasing the amount of paperwork in schools by 20% to 30%.

New Ukrainian School Reform

In 2016, the concept of the New Ukrainian School (Ukrainian: Нова Українська Школа) was outlined and discussed at the second EdCamp Ukraine unconference. This reform initiative became the main subject of discussions between Ukrainian educators and government through EdCamp Ukraine unconference 2017. That year, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine released a document publishing the main concepts, aims, and reform stages for the New Ukrainian School. Oleksandr Elkin, the founder and head of EdCamp Ukraine with vice-president Olena Massalitina co-authored the New Ukrainian School Reform concept. The New Ukrainian School was the first Ukrainian educational reform movement to include soft skills (creativity, openness for communication and partnership, and conflict resolution) into school curriculum. Soon after, Ukrainian teachers started to integrate some of the concepts of the New Ukrainian School into the school system.

In 2018, the reform was officially introduced into schools. That year, during the summit challenge for regional coordinators of mini-EdCamps around Ukraine, nine Ukrainian organizations joined the union to support and lobby for further development of the New Ukrainian School.

In 2017, EdCamp Ukraine established the #книгоНУШ project, aimed at creating book clubs and compiling vital educational books as the foundation for the New Ukrainian School system. Ukrainian poet, novelist, essayist, and translator Serhiy Zhadan was one of the first activists to support and promote the initiative.

Anti-discrimination expertise

From 2016 on, EdCamp Ukraine partnered with the United Nations Population Fund and the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ukraine to research discrimination in education and create anti-discrimination projects.

In 2017, EdCamp Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, and the Institute of Education Content Modernization (Ukrainian: Інститут модернізації змісту освіти) established an anti-discrimination review of Ukrainian textbooks. Later that year, according to the initiative, textbooks for 1 and 10 grades were reviewed by the anti-discrimination expert commission for the first time in history.

From 2016 through 2020, EdCamp Ukraine holds anti-discrimination trainings for textbook authors and publishers. Starting in 2018, the organization also holds trainings and a summit to teach educators how to review textbooks according to anti-discrimination principles.

While at the beginning of the project, no textbooks fully met the anti-discrimination educational standards, by 2018, 22% of books met the new anti-discrimination regulations. In 2019, that rose to 42%.

As of 2020, anti-discrimination review officially became part of the textbook-approval procedure.

Professional education

In 2018, EdCamp Ukraine, with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), and other Ukrainian organizations, did a research project called "To teach and to learn: how Ukrainian education can grow" in regard to educators' professional development. The project involved 8,427 educators, and 87% of them expressed the desire to develop professionally and learn the English language. At the time, 11% could speak English. EdCamp Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science started to work on an initiative to enable educators to officially develop their professional skills, not only through government-sponsored education but also through non-governmental organizations, business ventures, and with the help of other sponsors.

In 2019, the Ministry of Education and Science passed new regulations in regard to teacher's professional development. According to the new regulations, Ukrainian educators are to spend a minimum of 150 hours every five years developing their professional skills. The whole process is funded by government or local budgets, which is the essential rule of another newly established principle, "money follows the teacher." Educators can fulfill those hours through educational and scientific institutions or private and legal business ventures, and are free to choose among the institutions that provide such services.

The Ministry of Education and Science created a group to work on professional development topics which included EdCamp Ukraine founder and president Oleksandr Elkin and vice-president Olena Massalitina.

Anti-corruption initiative

Since 2018, EdCamp Ukraine has partnered with the USAID project "Support to Anti-Corruption Champion Institutions" (SACCI). Together with other Ukrainian ventures and organizations, they work to decrease corruption in Ukrainian schools. One result of the partnership was an anti-corruption educational toolkit for teachers to use in, teaching children how to fight corruptive practices. The toolkit contains games, quests, and ideas for training sessions. As of 2020, session on anti-corruption techniques became part of all annual EdCamp Ukraine unconferences.

EdWay

In 2021, the organization launched EdWay - the National platform for professional development opportunities for teachers, where educators are free to choose the subject, form, type and content of professional development.

Lessons of kindness

In 2021, EdCamp Ukraine together with #GenerousTuesdayChildren (#ЩедрийВівторокДіти) and a specially selected team of authors developed a manual for the formation of a culture of charity in the educational process: "Lessons of kindness: ideas and tips for the school year".

International projects and partnerships

Over the years, Ukrainian EdCampers have promoted their organization and its ideas in Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, and Moldova. They served as advisors for African and Italian EdCamps. The EdCamp Ukraine team has close relationships with educators in the US, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Israel, and Singapore.

Early events

From 2015 through 2020, EdCamp Ukraine supports and celebrates Global Dignity Day, and gives classes in regard to it in Ukraine. During the sixth annual Global Dignity Day celebration in 2020, the organization attracted Ukrainian schools to participate by holding lessons and discussions in online and offline formats. In September 2020, the president of EdCamp Ukraine, Oleksand Elkin, was appointed Global Dignity Country Chair for Ukraine. Since 2015, 2,789 educational institutions and 379,843 participants have joined the celebration of the Day of Dignity.

In 2017, the Ukrainian version of the Global Teacher Prize was announced and officially begun at the national unconference. Oleksandr Elkin served as a judge for the annual prize from 2017 to 2019.

In 2017, EdCamp Ukraine introduced a new branch of activity: international trips aimed at researching education in different countries, called EdTrips. Its first destinations were Finland and Estonia. Later, EdTrips visited Sweden.

In 2018, EdCamp, in partnership with Lumo Education, established another international project, Seven Days of Change. In this program, the EdCamp Ukraine team invited Finnish educators to visit a Ukrainian school and share Finnish educational concepts with Ukrainian staff. Out of 675 applicants, a school in Poltava Oblast won the chance to host Finnish colleagues.

SEE Learning and partnership with Dalai Lama XIV

An EdTrip in 2019 visited Dharmsala, India. There, 16 participants were invited to meet with the Dalai Lama. He introduced the concept of Social Emotional Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), created by the Emory University in the US. The program is aimed at learning basic human skills such as resilience, empathy, and concentration. That same year, the EdCamp Ukraine team was invited to an official SEE Learning presentation in New Delhi.

The concept of SEE Learning was widely discussed during the fifth unconference. The concept was supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and incorporated in 26 Ukrainian schools from 23 regions of the country for a trial period as part of the New Ukrainian School (Ukrainian: Нова Українська Школа) reform. After the success of the SEE Learning trials, the program was officially introduced in 26 Ukrainian schools.

By 2020, EdCamp Ukraine became Emory University's official SEE Learning partner in Ukraine and launched introductory online sessions on SEE Learning to around 20,000 educators. Teachers in schools that incorporated the program took part in training sessions with program developers from Emory University (US) and Ukrainian experts working on the project.

In 2020, for the first time in the history of Ukraine, an online conversation between Dalai Lama XIV and the Ukrainian people was held. The meeting was hosted by Oleksandr Elkin; Liliya Hrynevych, former Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine; Taras Topolya, UNICEF Youth Ambassador to Ukraine and well-known Ukrainian singer; and Nataliya Moseychuk, a TV host recognized nationwide. Topics were education for peace, peace in the world, and the pandemic's influence on the world. The Dalai Lama also answered questions from Ukrainian citizens.
