Projects

Lviv School Social Enterprises is an innovative project aimed at developing entrepreneurial skills among students. In 2024, we created 23 secondary schools and trained more than 250 students from 40 schools in Lviv. Students learned to create a business with a social mission: from recycling plastic to making kraft paper, teas and shoppers.

The project gained recognition at the national level, receiving an award from the Association of Ukrainian Cities within the framework of the Ukrainian Enterprise Promotion Awards 2024.

The second significant victory was the victory in the All-Ukrainian Forum “United by Light”, where “Lviv School Social Enterprises” received the award as the best youth practice of 2024.
