On February 22, 2024, the Central Project Management Agency of Lithuania, announced an international architectural competition to design the next-generation schools for Ukraine. Architects worldwide are invited to contribute to this impactful project. The initiative aims not only to rebuild the educational landscape of war-torn Ukraine but to transform it into a more resilient, safe, and forward-thinking environment.

The competition will award the three top projects with prizes ranging from €8,000 to €12,000. The winner will be offered a contract worth €300,000 to develop an adaptive school project design.

A team entering the competition will be required to have at least one architect with the right to practice in Ukraine and at least one architect with the right to practice outside Ukraine.

The jury for the competition includes esteemed international architects such as Carl Backstrand from Sweden, Helena Sandman from Finland, Rolandas Palekas, Viktorija Blažienė from Lithuania, along with Viktor Zotov from Ukraine.
