Anastasia Svitkovska is a history and art teacher and educational coordinator at Mariupol Specialized School No. 66. She has dedicated her professional career to educating the younger generation, helping students not only acquire knowledge but also develop an active civic stance and a love for Ukraine.
Amid a full-scale war, Anastasia successfully organized the educational process online, implementing modern digital technologies, interactive lessons, and original teaching materials so that Ukrainian children could have access to quality education regardless of their location.
She is a participant in the “Discovering Ukraine” educational project in the “Artistic Heritage” track, where she develops teaching materials that promote Ukrainian culture and art. She has also joined the M86 project, dedicated to the defense of Mariupol and the heroic deeds of its defenders, helping to preserve historical memory among young people.
Anastasia combines her active teaching career with community work. She supports the families of prisoners of war and those missing in action, coordinates the “Don’t Be Silent—Captivity Kills” campaign, participates in the creation of the “Alley of Hope” urban space, and helps implement informational campaigns in support of Ukrainian defenders.
In 2025, she was honored with a certificate of appreciation on Volunteer Day for her active civic engagement. Her professional and civic activities serve as an example of how a young educator can combine modern education, patriotic upbringing, and active participation in community development and support for Ukrainian society.
