My name is João, and I believe Ukraine’s future will be shaped in its schools—through language and history.

Rebuilding Ukrainian schools is essential for building Ukraine’s future. I’m a history teacher, and I feel responsibility toward my students. I am ready to defend them if needed. Ukrainian teachers know this from their own experience. Their sacrifice and struggle must be honored and remembered. Portuguese students must learn about Ukraine’s reality and understand the hardships the Ukrainian people are going through. I will do everything in my power to help our fight. Slava Ukraini!
