"Kyiv hosted the Fifth Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen – an initiative of First Lady Olena, which in just a few years has grown into a truly international platform," Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President posted on his X account, APA reports.
"This year, for the first time, it lasted two days and welcomed a record number of participants – representatives from 20 countries, including First Ladies and Gentlemen, Ministers and Deputy Ministers of Education, distinguished teachers, scholars and researchers, and Nobel Prize laureates.
The theme of this year’s Summit was “Education Shaping the World.” Discussions focused on access to learning even under the most difficult circumstances, the role of teachers in shaping generations, innovations and technologies in education, and how education can serve as the foundation of peace and development.
The event received personal support from the First Ladies and Gentlemen of Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Serbia, and Germany. We are grateful for this visit and for all the solidarity shown. For Ukraine, this Summit is proof that, even in wartime, we remain part of the global dialogue, working together to find answers to the challenges we face. And that matters," the post reads.
