First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska and First Lady of Estonia Sirje Karis met with Ukrainian schoolgirls participating in the Girls’ Technology and Creativity Program – Ukraine.

The name of the exhibition comes from the term “Sophianity,” which describes a Ukrainian way of interacting with reality during a crisis. The concept of Sophianity as a philosophy of resilience was proposed by Ukrainian scholars. Alongside 37 other concepts and practices of resilience, it is included in the Global Vocabulary of Resilience.

At the Sixth Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen, First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska presented the Global Vocabulary of Resilience – a publication that, for the first time, brought together the experiences of 38 countries and became a practical outcome of this year’s Summit.

This year’s Summit theme is “World 2026: Finding Stability in Times of Uncertainty.” The event became a platform for countries from around the world to share their own experiences of resilience.

The scientific and expert conference “A Mosaic of Experiences: An International Dialogue on Resilience” was held in Kyiv, opening the program of the VI Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen, “World 2026: Finding Stability in Times of Uncertainty.” First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Lithuania Diana Nausėdienė, and First Gentleman of Slovenia Aleš Musar took part in the event.

The first “Family Home” in Ukraine has opened in Boryspil, Kyiv region. It is a home where orphans and children deprived of parental care who have not yet been placed with a family can live in conditions as close to family life as possible.

First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, together with Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi and Minister of Education and Science Andrii Butenko, took part in the annual national education conference “ Serpneva-2026,” organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine under the slogan “Education Is Everyone’s Responsibility.”

A Ukrainian-language audio tour is now available at the Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Odense, Denmark. Another is available at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. In addition, an audio guide is now available at the Cluny Museum, one of France’s most important museums dedicated to the art and culture of the European Middle Ages.

The President’s wife noted that since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale aggression, the Association has become an effective international platform for supporting Ukraine, combining cultural diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, advocacy, and cross-sectoral partnerships.

“I meet many of you not only here, but also throughout the year during my visits abroad. With many of you, we have already built lasting partnerships over many years, for which I am deeply grateful. I want you to see how much important work we have already accomplished together,” the President’s wife said.
