The Embassy of Ukraine in Australia is pleased to inform about opportunities for Ukrainian children and teenagers (aged 10–17) living abroad to participate in free educational programmes organised by the charitable foundation Star for Life Ukraine in 2026.

The programmes are conducted online in Ukrainian and are available to Ukrainian children worldwide, including those residing in Australia and New Zealand.

In 2026, the Foundation will implement an updated cycle of educational programmes covering a wide range of modern fields, including:

• programming and IT (Python, Java, FrontEnd, .NET, AI Literacy, Creative Coding);

• creative and digital industries (UX/UI design, animation, digital marketing);

• future career skills (freelancing, personal branding, cybersecurity);

• team-based learning formats, including a nationwide programming tournament;

• English Boost Clubs and socio-emotional development programmes.

All programmes are free of charge.

Detailed course descriptions and registration forms are available in the 2026 Education Digest at:

These initiatives are implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine under a Memorandum of Cooperation dated 20 November 2023.

The Ministry supports the Foundation’s initiatives aimed at ensuring access to high-quality free education for Ukrainian children and youth, including those temporarily residing abroad, and considers it important to promote these opportunities among Ukrainian communities worldwide.

We encourage Ukrainian communities, cultural and educational organisations, and parents to take advantage of these opportunities and participate in the programmes.
