Mykolaiv Launches Interactive Memory Boards in Schools to Honor Defenders

Mykolaiv has launched a pilot project to install interactive memory boards in educational institutions. The first such board has already appeared at Lyceum #55 to let students know about the graduates who defended Ukraine.

This was reported by the press service of the Mykolaiv City Council.

Mykolaiv has launched a pilot project to install interactive whiteboards in the city's educational institutions. These screens will contain information about school graduates who are currently defending Ukraine, as well as those who gave their lives for its freedom.

The first such board has already been installed in Lyceum No. 55. It will allow schoolchildren to learn more about the heroes and realize the importance of defending the homeland. The mayor emphasized that the education of the younger generation should be based on understanding the price of freedom and independence of Ukraine.

"It is extremely important to raise a younger generation that will understand the price of our freedom. In the near future, we have a plan to have such boards in every educational institution to inform students about the heroic people who studied at their school," Senkevych said.

Earlier in the city, electronic books of remembrance have already appeared near the ASCs, which contain information about the fallen soldiers since 2014. The authorities plan to expand this project so that as many Mykolaiv residents as possible know about their defenders.

The first such board was installed in the city in November last year. The first interactive terminal with the Book of Remembrance appeared near the Central District ASC. In the future, such electronic stands are planned to be installed in all districts of the city, and this year such books will appear in schools.

The book of memory will be updated at least once every three months, and access to it will be provided through touchscreen information systems. The list will include the names of defenders who were born, registered or buried in Mykolaiv, as well as those whose families live in the city.

In addition, 49 streets in Mykolaiv were renamed in honor of fallen soldiers and prominent citizens. The new names were determined based on the recommendations of the commission for naming city facilities and public discussion, including the names of defenders and prominent Mykolaiv residents.
