Dnipro hosted the unique educational forum “Dnipro. Resilience. Development,” which brought together over 400 participants representing preschool, secondary, and vocational education institutions, as well as sports and cultural organizations of the city. The forum took place simultaneously across nine venues, one of which was the Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Jewish Lyceum No. 144.
The theme of the section hosted at the Jewish Lyceum was formulated as follows: “Artificial Intelligence and Society: Opportunities and Challenges for Humanity in the Digital Age,” and it proved to be highly sought-after—all available spots were instantly filled, even though forum participants could express their preferences and apply to different venues. “We are very pleased that our topic turned out to be so in demand, and the number of interested individuals far exceeded the available spots,” said Deputy Principal Tetiana Sirotkina. “Our lyceum is known for its innovative approach, and the use of artificial intelligence in the educational process is one of the most relevant and promising directions, necessary not just in the near future but already today.”
The forum at all venues began with greetings from Mayor Borys Filatov and leaders of the Department of Humanitarian Policy of the Dnipro City Council, after which each section launched its own program.
At the Jewish Lyceum, the section was led by Deputy Principal Tetiana Sirotkina and an artificial intelligence named Arthur. They first introduced two keynote speakers: Volodymyr Hnatushenko—Professor and Head of the Department of Information Technologies and Computer Engineering at Dnipro Polytechnic, an expert of the Ministry of Education and Science on artificial intelligence—and Tetiana Buturlim, an educator and director of the Center for Language and Digital Education “School of Success.” They then proposed forming three groups that, under the guidance of experienced instructors and using neural networks, various AI models, and specialized software, would prepare projects related to different disciplines: computer science, English, and Ukrainian language and literature.
The first group was led by Olga Borysenko, introduced as “a specialist who transforms management tasks into simple solutions using Artificial Intelligence resources.” The second group was headed by Alla Lytvynenko, described as “an educator whose English lesson with AI could confidently be featured on Netflix.” The leader of the third group was Svitlana Chernyshova—”a Ukrainian language teacher who works so creatively with neural networks that even algorithms start to rhyme.”
Under such competent and creative guidance, directors of kindergartens, schools, and vocational institutions prepared excellent projects, which they presented in the final part of the section, leaving a strong and positive impression on everyone. This section of the first educational forum “Dnipro. Resilience. Development” concluded with collective and individual photography in a specially equipped photo zone with cloud props, helping participants take stylish selfies that immediately convey to every social media follower: “Yes, I am up-to-date with AI.”
“This was a very important and responsible event for us, and we were delighted to participate in the city’s educational forum ‘Dnipro. Resilience. Development,'” said Elena Krasnova, Principal of the Jewish Lyceum. “Thanks to the care of the Dnipro Jewish Community and its Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki, our lyceum combines centuries-old traditions of upbringing and education with the latest technologies and innovations, which is so crucial in the modern world.”
