The European Investment Bank (EIB) has announced that it will support TUMO Centre Ukraine together with KfW, the German national promotional bank.
A donation totalling €125,000 (€50,000 from the EIB and €75,000 from KfW) will enable a large number of young Ukrainian refugees to continue their participation in the TUMO education programme. It is now conducted online after the TUMO Centre in Kyiv was closed in March 2022.
TUMO was launched in 2011 by the Simonian Educational Foundation in Armenia. It is an inclusive digital education programme that teaches creative digital skills like programming, animation, game development, music, film, 3-D modelling and graphic design to 12-18 year olds. There are already 11 TUMO centres in seven countries worldwide, including one in Berlin.
“The courses in Ukrainian make it easier for young people to prepare for their choice of work and career despite the burdens of war and being refugees,” EIB President Werner Hoyer said.
