Magonova & Partners Continues Communication Support for Educational Innovation in Wartime

Magonova & Partners, an international communications bureau, continues to support the ‘EU4Youth: Post-Conflict Education and Trauma-Informed Pedagogy Programme’, implemented by Ukrainian State University named after Mykhaylo Drahomanov in partnership with the Vytautas Magnus University (Kaunas, Lithuania) and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania and the European Union.

The initiative focuses on preparing teachers and psychologists to work in wartime conditions, with an emphasis on supporting children who have experienced trauma.

Our Role

As the communications partner, Magonova & Partners is responsible for making the project visible and understandable to educators, journalists, students, and the wider public. Our goal is not only broad outreach, but also clarity – explaining how new approaches are being integrated into education and why they matter.

Between June and July 2025, we delivered:

  • Television coverage: a prime-time segment on TSN with over 500,000 viewers

  • Online publications: features on Osvita.ua, Osvitoria Media, and EU Neighbours East, reaching 75,000+ readers

  • Social media content: posts reaching more than 15,000 views organically

Total media reach: over 600,000 unique contacts.

Key Topics We Highlight

The Project of the USU named after Mykhaylo Dragomanov and the VMU includes several core areas that we continue to communicate through content and media support:

  • Body-oriented therapy trainings for educators and psychology students — covering physical responses to stress, the use of digital support tools (Wysa, Woebot, Replika), and the creation of personalised self-care strategies.

  • Training on grief and loss — working with cultural, age-based and social differences in how people experience loss, and preparing specialists to provide support accordingly.

  • Safe learning environments in primary school — a course for teachers focused on building trust and emotional safety for children affected by traumatic experiences.

Project Scope in Numbers

To date, the ‘EU4Youth: Post-Conflict Education and Trauma-Informed Pedagogy Programme’ project has achieved:

  • 8 trainings for over 120 education professionals

  • 3 newly developed university courses

  • 15+ methodological guides for school psychologists and teachers

  • 6 expert-led sessions on psychological support

  • 25+ experts from Ukraine and Lithuania involved in delivery

What’s Next

We continue to work on making the project more visible and accessible to those who need it. Upcoming activities include new materials, and deeper insights of how the programme really helps those in need.

Projects like EU4Youth are not just important because of what they do – but also because of how they’re communicated. And we believe that strong, honest communication helps these changes take root – not just in media, but in classrooms.
