The problem that brought them to UPSHIFT: low level of socialization of children with special educational needs.

The solution found at UPSHIFT: the team developed an event plan for students at their own lyceum. The participants included film screenings, master classes, art therapy activities, and reflections. The DyvoSvit team promotes the principles of tolerance and mutual support. In their classes, the upshifters were able to establish new connections and create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and support.

The indicator of the project’s success was a simple, at first glance, thing — friendly relations between children and adolescents, which helped create a new friendly community.
