About us
This story began in 2020, when Ukrainian Students for Freedom (USF) started running projects for high school students. Crab Syndrome, Liberty Game, Freedom School — these and many other projects attracted an incredible number of senior students, their mentors and supervisors.
The number of projects kept growing, and by 2023 we noticed hundreds of participants at our events who were not yet university students! Inside USF there was a desire to create projects and educate the younger generation. And among school students — a desire to learn economics, leadership and civic governance before entering university.
That is why we started promoting the values of a free society among school students as a separate team — Ukrainian Pupils for Freedom!
Our mission
We are Ukrainian Pupils for Freedom (UPF), a community of young people aged 13 to 18 who strive to change the world around them, starting with their own education, entrepreneurial spirit and individual responsibility.
Our movement was born from the desire to help senior students gain knowledge missing from the standard school curriculum, so they could become a free and responsible generation of leaders before entering university.
Our values
Freedom
We believe in the importance of choice and every person’s right to be free in their actions and thoughts.
Entrepreneurship
Focus on an entrepreneurial future — we teach how to create projects and build your own venture.
Responsibility
Along with freedom, we encourage young people to be aware of their responsibility for decisions and impact on society.
Education
We see education as the key to the future, opening opportunities for self-fulfillment and change in the world.
