Three free courses on the topic of school public budgeting (SPB) have been launched on the Zrozumilo! online educational platform.
SPB is a digital tool for youth and child participation that shapes conscious and influential Ukrainians. With its help, for example, students themselves decide whether they need a new sports area, a modern library or a space for creativity. They discuss ideas, vote and see how their decisions are put into practice.

Designed for different audiences, the courses will help make the process of children and young people’s participation in decision-making simple and understandable for all participants in the educational process, in particular:
- representatives of local government will learn how to support youth initiatives and help implement them;
- educators will learn how to integrate the school participatory budget into the educational process;
- schoolchildren will learn to initiate change, vote and get involved in the development of their school.
The educational courses consist of short modules, practical tasks and real-life examples from Ukrainian schools and communities. Three separate tracks allow each participant to choose content that is relevant to them – knowledge, tools or ideas for their next project.
The courses are available to everyone free of charge on the Zrozumilo! online educational platform at the following links:
- “School participatory budgeting for local authorities“
- “School participatory budgeting for educational institutions“
