An initiative to establish education centers for children in Ukrainian<\/a> hospitals is underway as a partnership between\u00a0the Center for Jewish Impact, the SASA Setton organization, the Foreign Ministry, and the Israeli Embassy in Ukraine, the Center for Jewish Impact announced last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The educational centers will be established in children\u2019s hospitals in Chernivtsi and Bila Tserkva, allowing injured children to continue learning, creating, playing, and receiving emotional support throughout their hospital stays.<\/p>\n

According to SASA Setton’s website, their mission is \u201cto ensure that hospitalization is not a barrier to the societal and educational advancement of children.\u201d The organization provides educational programs for children receiving hospital care in Israel.<\/p>\n

The new centers will offer classrooms, technology and robotics<\/a> facilities, a library, games, and spaces for art and other creative activities. The initiative will design the facilities around the educational, emotional, and medical needs of hospitalized children, while also providing local staff with professional training and ongoing guidance.<\/p>\n

The educational center at Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon will provide professional support for the Chernivtsi facility, including staff training and the exchange of expertise developed through its work with hospitalized children in Israel.<\/p>\n

Organizers are considering expansion to other areas of Ukraine<\/p>\n

A similar educational center has already opened in Odesa, and organizers are considering expanding the initiative to additional parts of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael attaches great importance to assisting Ukraine, not only in responding to the immediate challenges of the war, but also in strengthening the resilience of the younger generation,” Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky said of the project. “The establishment of educational centers for hospitalized children reflects Israel\u2019s ability to share the knowledge and experience it has accumulated and turn them into tangible assistance on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Singer, chairman of the Center for Jewish Impact and the SASA Setton organization, also spoke about Israel’s comittment to supporting Ukraine throughout their ongoing war with Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative reflects our commitment to partnership with the Ukrainian people,” he said. “Through the knowledge and experience accumulated in Israel in the field of education for hospitalized children, we are bringing the children of Ukraine not only a learning environment, but also hope, resilience, and a sense of childhood during a complex period.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the outbreak of the Ukraine-Russia War<\/a>, Israel\u2019s support for Ukraine has focused on three main areas: humanitarian aid, medical and rehabilitation assistance, and civilian and educational programs.<\/p>\n

The initiative is among several projects by Israeli organizations since the beginning of the war. It reflects Israel\u2019s broader effort to provide practical assistance to Ukraine by sharing professional knowledge and experience and developing long-term partnerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An initiative to establish education centers for children in Ukrainian hospitals is underway as a partnership between\u00a0the Center…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[243,18263,4144,85,46,43,243891,1594],"class_list":["post-534906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-education","tag-foreign-ministry","tag-hospital","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-odessa","tag-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
