ETF podcast #17 - Re(construction) of Ukraine: green and digital

In this episode we talk to Iryna Shumik from the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and to Olena Bekh, Human Capital Development Expert from the European Training Foundation.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine that started on 24 February 2022 has, according to the UN, affected the lives and wellbeing of more than 5.7 million school-aged children.  The deadly armed conflict has resulted in severe problems for access to schooling and education.
