Digital Literacy Month 2025 has kicked off in Ukraine — a nationwide initiative that has been helping Ukrainians master modern technologies and improve their digital security for the fifth year in a row. It is being implemented by the national project Diya.Education with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and partners.
According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, 93.8% of citizens have access to the internet, but only 38% have a high level of digital literacy. That is why November is traditionally dedicated to the development of digital skills, from safe online behaviour to working with artificial intelligence.
On the Diya.Education platform, users can take short courses and video lessons on cyber hygiene, media literacy and AI, as well as test their own level of knowledge through the national tests Digitogram and Cybergram. Teams from businesses, communities, schools and universities can join the initiative using open promotional materials.
‘Investing in digital skills creates economic power. It is these skills that strengthen business resilience, increase citizen productivity and pave the way for Ukraine to become a global leader,’ emphasises Valeria Ionan, advisor to the First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

This year, the initiative will also present an updated study of Ukrainians’ digital skills, conducted with the support of the Swiss-Ukrainian EGAP programme, implemented by the Eastern Europe Foundation. It will show how user behaviour, attitudes towards technology and online safety skills have changed.
‘Digital literacy makes people’s lives easier and safer. It allows them to work, study, and manage their affairs regardless of circumstances. We help people feel confident in the digital world,’ said Victor Lyakh, President of the Eastern Europe Foundation.
Today, Diya.Education has over 2.9 million users and has issued about 5 million certificates. It is currently transitioning from an educational library to an AI-powered environment with intelligent assistants that will help users choose courses, create personalised educational paths, and learn at a comfortable pace.
The most popular areas on the platform remain cyber hygiene, digital skills, barrier-free literacy, retraining, and anti-corruption education. These areas help Ukrainians develop critical thinking, improve professional competence, and be competitive in today’s labour market.
