Record-breaking parliamentary lesson celebrating Ukraine's Unity Day

A record number of participants! Thousands of schoolchildren attended an online parliamentary lesson dedicated to Ukraine’s Unity Day!

Supported by USAID "RADA: Next Generation" Program and American Councils for International Education, the Parliamentary Education Center organized a special lesson on the 105th anniversary of the Unification Act of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic.

Over 9,000 students, including those from frontline cities such as Sloviansk, Kupiansk, and Kramatorsk, registered for the lesson. Despite an air raid alert, teachers seamlessly continued the session from the shelter.

During the lesson, the children learned about:

• The significance and background of the Unification Act of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic and the proclamation of the Ukrainian People's Republic as an independent, sovereign state of the Ukrainian people.
• Historical context on the "human chains" formed on Ukraine's Unity Day.
• The role of the Ukrainian parliament in past and present state-building endeavors.

The lesson concluded with an engaging quiz to reinforce the knowledge gained. The quiz winner received valuable prizes courtesy of the Parliamentary Educational Center.

USAID "RADA: The Next Generation" Program steadfastly supports the Parliamentary Education Center in devising a sustainable development strategy and enhancing its capacity to execute large-scale parliamentary education initiatives. Empowering and informed youth is the cornerstone of a robust civil society and enduring democratic progress in Ukraine!
