In 2024, Odesa has launched the operation of seven Digital Learning Centres (DLC), as part of a joint initiative by the UNICEF and the Association for Innovative and Digital Education.

These centres aim to restore educational opportunities, provide psychological support, and facilitate learning for Odesa's students.

Children aged 6 to 18 can learn, interact, and enjoy their time using cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, case-based lessons, virtual reality, STEM education, Minecraft Education, and more.

Daily, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the centres are staffed by coordinators who organize activities and provide access to a psychologist.

In their free time, all students can engage in classes, events, and activities designed for their growth.

All centres are located in safe areas.
