About the organisation
Goncharenko Centre is the largest non-governmental educational network in Ukraine, established to help individuals and communities realize their potential through accessible, free education.
We provide a wide range of free educational and cultural activities, including language courses, lectures, workshops, creative classes, discussion clubs and other learning opportunities. Our programmes are open to children, young people and adults. We are making education accessible to people and communities that may have limited access to additional learning opportunities.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Goncharenko Centre has continued its work both offline and online. Our network brings together local communities while also providing online programmes that can reach participants regardless of their location. Through education, culture and community-based activities, we aim to support people in developing new knowledge and skills, maintaining access to learning and staying connected with others.
For now, Goncharenko Centre has 54 active spaces across Ukraine, and our network continues to grow and expand its reach to new communities.
