Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute took part in the scientific and expert conference “Mosaic of Experiences: International Dialogue on Resilience,” held as part of the VI Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen “World-2026: Finding Support in Times of Uncertainty.”
The event brought together more than 200 Ukrainian and international experts and researchers, as well as representatives of government institutions, business, and civil society. Participants included First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Lithuania Diana Nausėdienė, and First Gentleman of Slovenia Aleš Musar.
👩🏫 Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute was represented by Liudmyla Hanushchak-Yefimenko, Vice-Rector for Humanitarian Development and Youth Policy.
📃 During the event, the Manifesto “Sofianness — the Ukrainian Philosophy of Life” was presented, and the International Expert Council on Resilience began its work.
📌 For Kyiv Polytechnic, resilience is a practical principle of development. The innovation ecosystem of Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute combines support for veterans, mental health care, the development of adaptive technologies, the creation of an accessible and barrier-free environment, and the preservation of human capital.
🤝 We thank the organizers — the Coordination Center for Mental Health under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, within the framework of the nationwide mental health program “How Are You?” initiated by First Lady Olena Zelenska; the Institute of National Resilience and Security; and the World Health Organization — for their support of the event.
It is through this kind of exchange of experience that solutions emerge that can later be put into practice.
