Workbooks for catching up on lost learning

A series of learning workbooks "Making up for educational losses"

PROBLEM

Because of the war, children and teens in the Sumy, Kharkiv and Donetsk regions lost months of schooling. The ECHO-funded project was meant to help them catch up — and that required workbooks across subjects, clear and easy for a child to work through on their own.

SOLUTION

We laid out the “Catching up on lost learning” workbook series: each subject has its own colour and recognisable design, while a shared illustrated “road of knowledge” motif ties the series together. Inside — a clear, child-friendly task structure. Subjects included mathematics, English, Ukrainian language and literature, history and natural sciences.

RESULT

Children in frontline regions got quality materials to make up for missed learning. And the project got a cohesive, recognisable workbook series that works within a large humanitarian programme.
