Hello! I am Ivan Prymachenko, and I help the children from the village school to take part in the GoCamp project. In today's globalized world, everyone needs to know the international language of communication – English. Because English is a key, that opens doors to the world of international business, networking, advanced researchers, modern literature and online courses.

Hello! I am Ivan Prymachenko, and I help the children from the village school to take part in the GoCamp project. In today's globalized world, everyone needs to know the international language of communication – English. Because English is a key, that opens doors to the world of international business, networking, advanced researchers, modern literature and online courses.

Critical thinking, inventiveness, leadership, creativity, programming and, of course, English! The GoCamp project is a school language camps involving international volunteers, who, together with English teachers, help children to learn foreign languages. These skills and knowledge are most needed for students in the modern world, which, unfortunately, not yet taught in schools.

GoGamp is about opportunities which are opening for Ukrainian children (only this year 60 000 children), namely learning about cultures of various countries, developing skills, which cannot be taught at school – critical or global thinking, for instance. For many pupils, it will be their first meeting with a foreigner in their lives. In 2017, 600 volunteers are going to visit Ukraine, 80% of whom will go to small villages.

Volunteers will live with a host family of one of the pupils, which gives a special value to the project and opens the Ukrainian culture for foreigners in depth. As a result, foreigners ruin prejudice towards Ukraine, open it again and become the Ambassadors of our country in the world.

Project results in 2016:
- 120 volunteers from 40 countries;
- 127 schools GoCamps from 24 regions of Ukraine;
- 9,000 children.
