About project

“WE ARE U” is a documentary film about five Ukrainian teenagers and their mentors. It delves into their goals, transforming into reality.

Over six months, the savED team was crafting this documentary delving into the stories of five teenagers from Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolayiv, Kakhovka, and Lviv.

These teenagers are sharing the living-through-war experience as well as their dreams and how-to-make-dreams-come-true projects.

They will present their projects developed with the help of mentors: Andriy Golyutyak, the director of Mariupol Lyceum, and Natalia Pashkovska, a geography teacher from Kakhovka.

Heroes

Mariupol Lyceum

Before the full-scale invasion, Mariupol City Lyceum had 450 students and employed 40 teachers.

Due to the russian occupation of Mariupol in 2022, the lyceum had to relocate. Since September 2022, the Lyceum has resumed its operations, in a boarding school in Pushcha-Vodytsia, Kyiv region.

The students live in a boarding school set up, spending the week in the educational institution and going home on weekends. Currently, 278 students, not only from Mariupol but also from other temporarily occupied cities, are receiving education there.

Our goal is to improve the living conditions for these children, ensuring they can learn and live comfortably in the relocated lyceum.
