Mriia. Dream-rooting campaign for state educational digital ecosystem
How a Dream Inspires to Learn in the Most Uncertain Times
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine joined forces with the Ministry of Digital Transformation to usher in an era of innovation for the educational system. They dared to touch the sacred: pencil-written grades in the school register. And they did it in Ukraine, during wartime. Someone had to tell this story!
So we invited real teachers, real children, and even one real baby to share a real dream: Mriia.

Mriia (Ukr., “dream”) is a digital educational in-app ecosystem developed by a joint team of two ministries.
This was not only hope for the future, but literally a reason to live and fight. And so the manifesto was born. Not about how great the product will be — this product can speak for itself — but about why it matters to think and plan for the future at all, when everything is still under threat.
The story is about the future Ukraine shaped by the dreams of those who are learning in it today. And they are learning with Mriia.
So we invited Liudmyla Tabolina, a Ukrainian language and literature teacher, one of the top 50 teachers in the world in 2023, and a person with a natural gift for inspiring others.
And Maksym Hvozdetskyi, a physics teacher at a high school in Zaporizhzhia, who won the national Global Teacher Prize Ukraine 2023 in the Innovative Teacher of the Year category.
And Sasha Paskal, an indomitable Ukrainian gymnast who lost her leg in a Russian missile strike on the Odesa region in May 2022 but never stopped achieving new victories.
After all, Mriia and its communication didn't just inspire to learn. They just inspire.
