Platform for Social Change Announces a Call for Lyceums in the Khmelnytskyi Region to Join Social Entrepreneurship Bootcamps
Platform for Social Change opens a call for lyceums in the Khmelnytskyi region to participate in a 7-month educational program on social entrepreneurship for Grade 10–11 students, implemented in line with the requirements of the New Ukrainian School.
The bootcamps are a practice-based course in which schools become spaces for action, and students work with real community challenges while developing operating entrepreneurship projects — from idea to first launch. The program combines educational modules, mentoring support from entrepreneurs and business practitioners, and the development of leadership and social-emotional competencies throughout the learning process.
Participation in the program provides lyceums with a ready-to-use social entrepreneurship teaching model aligned with the New Ukrainian School (NUS) framework, strengthens the institution’s image as a hub of innovative and practice-oriented education, and offers methodological support and guidance for developing social entrepreneurship projects from the Platform for Social Change team. Participating lyceums will also have the opportunity to compete for financial support to implement an entrepreneurship project in the amount of UAH 100,000.
Students gain practical skills in entrepreneurship, teamwork, and leadership, as well as hands-on experience in developing an operational entrepreneurship project. They also have opportunities to work with successful entrepreneurs and gain a clearer understanding of entrepreneurial and related professions, enabling them to make informed decisions about their future education and career paths. Teachers receive tools to support the development of students’ knowledge, practical skills, values, and social-emotional competencies in line with the requirements of the New Ukrainian School.
For communities, the program fosters partnerships between lyceums, businesses, and local authorities, supports the creation of real entrepreneurial solutions for local development, and engages young people in strengthening their communities, where learning and self-realization take place at home rather than through relocation to cities.
The program will run for 7 months and will be delivered in a hybrid format, combining online sessions with offline activities in selected schools. Each participating institution will involve 20–25 students together with 1–2 teacher coordinators.
To participate, lyceums must complete the registration form. After submitting an application, the Platform for Social Change team will conduct a short individual interview. The selection results will be sent by email by February 12, 2026.
