Launch Steps
STEP 1:
Identify Key Partners
The first step is to identify key partners who will champion the initiative. Find a dedicated community leader, determine a start date, and confirm the participation of Ukrainian educational partners. Strong leadership from the beginning ensures a smooth launch, a sustainable program, and powerful events.
STEP 2:
Establish Leadership & Logistics
Select a lead organizer and student ambassadors to guide the event or program and keep participants engaged. Assess funding requirements and secure the resources needed for long-term success.
STEP 3:
Organize Student Engagement
Introduce students to KidsKonnectUkraine and our mission. Schedule and confirm a live virtual meetup with Ukrainian students. Have students join the KKU Slack channel and create profiles for ongoing discussions and activities. Set up student ambassadors to lead conversations and encourage students to research meaningful discussion topics. Before any virtual meetups, test connectivity and equipment to ensure smooth interactions.
