When Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022, classrooms fell silent. Soon, schools were destroyed by the relentless shelling. Almost a year on, classes have started again, and schools are being rebuilt with EU humanitarian support. In When I grow up, 3 tenacious young Ukrainians resume their education despite the fighting. By giving them a voice, the campaign ‘Education, no matter what’ documents their ambitions and courage in a country devastated by war.

Before the screening – introduction to the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG-ECHO) campaign Education, no matter what.
