Three months ago, from February 7–9, 2025, we gathered in Kamloops and online across continents for the Educating for Tomorrow: Ukrainian Values in a Global World conference — and it still resonates in our hearts today.
What began as an academic gathering quickly transformed into something far more powerful: a movement of solidarity, scholarship, and shared responsibility. With over 100 participants from more than 10 countries, 60+ research presentations, and voices joining from war zones, classrooms, and diasporic communities, we built something extraordinary together.
We discussed:
- How Ukrainian identity continues to evolve under pressure.
- How education, innovation, and civic engagement are shaping resilience.
- How global solidarity — from Kamloops to Kharkiv — can uplift a people and a cause.
From opening prayers by Elder Gwendy Campbell-McArthur and Father Wasylinko, to the stirring resolutions passed at the closing ceremony, the entire conference was anchored in care, courage, and hope.
