The NGO Open Policy Foundation was established in 2008 to promote access to quality education in Ukraine. It has advocated for simplified procedures for students in occupied Crimea and Donbas to obtain Ukrainian school certificates and has provided educational and social support programs. The Foundation is now proposing to create an online Open Distance Educational Center called "GREEN STREAM" to provide distance learning for 3,000 children and youth affected by the conflict through online video lessons, counseling services, and teacher training on distance learning techniques. The goal is to increase access to quality Ukrainian education for students unable to access schools in occupied territories.
