Geego × Lviv, Ukraine
Give children in Ukrainetwo years ofmovement and joy
In Lviv, a school day can be cut short by an air-raid siren and a walk down to the shelter. But children still need to move, play and laugh. On a Business Tampere trade mission, we brought Geego to a school in Lviv – and the classroom filled with laughter. Now our teacher friends there want Geego in 200 classrooms across the Lviv region. You can give one of them.

Geego is about movement, focus, motivation – and above all, health! I see more than an idea in this app. I see a sincere wish to raise a healthy nation.
Watching the children, it was clear they were absolutely delighted. So we'll soon be working out how to share this wonderful programme with teachers across the city. Wonderful Geego belongs in every school, every classroom and every home.

Гіго це про рух, зосередження, мотивацію, а найголовніше - здоров 'я ! Я бачу в цьому застосунку не просто ідею, я бачу щире бажання плекати здорову націю. Спостереження за дітьми показало, що вони просто в захваті. Тож найближчим часом ми напрацюємо схему ділення цією чудовою програмою з вчителями міста. А чудовий Гіго має поселитися в кожній школі, класі і домівці.

Principal, School No. 91, Lviv
For us, it matters that children's learning is not only meaningful but also engaging, active and up to date. That's why we were glad to explore what Geego can do – and we've already tried it with our pupils.
We especially liked how learning comes together with movement, play and interaction. The children joined in eagerly, got going quickly and came away with real positive emotions.
It's wonderful to see how digital tools can help a school create a livelier, healthier place to learn.
Thank you to the Geego team for the introduction, the inspiring demonstration and the chance to try a new way of working with children. We look forward to continuing our cooperation and growing this at our school! 💙💛

Як директор СЗШ №91 хочу поділитися враженнями від впровадження Geego у нашій школі.
Для нас важливо, щоб навчання дітей було не лише змістовним, а й цікавим, активним та сучасним. Саме тому ми з цікавістю познайомилися з можливостями Geego та вже мали можливість випробувати його разом із нашими учнями.
Особливо сподобалося, що навчання поєднується з рухом, грою та взаємодією. Діти із задоволенням долучаються до активностей, швидко включаються в процес і отримують позитивні емоції.
Приємно бачити, що сучасні цифрові рішення можуть допомагати школі створювати більш динамічне та здорове освітнє середовище.
Дякуємо команді Geego за знайомство з платформою, цікаву демонстрацію та можливість спробувати новий формат роботи з дітьми. Сподіваємося на подальшу співпрацю та розвиток цього напрямку у нашій школі! 💙💛

For companies, supporting a classroom is a concrete way to help children in Ukraine – and one you can proudly talk about. As an individual, you can sponsor a class in your own name or anonymously.
- Invoice or receipt with VAT shown separately
- You decide whether your name is shown
- Greetings from the class, delivered to you
”Every child deserves the joy of succeeding and the wellbeing that comes from moving. Children in Ukraine need these experiences now more than ever.
We Finns know from our own history how the scars of war can be passed from one generation to the next. That's why we want to support not just the children, but also the parents and teachers who keep their everyday lives going.
Phones, social media and the news fill so much of children's days. With Geego, we can offer something else in the middle of all that screen time: moving together, joy, and moments where a child can simply be a child.
Thank you for helping make these moments happen.”
Questions
Where does the €450 go?
Two years of the app, Ukrainian-language materials and the mascot visit. No sports equipment is needed. A class has about 20 children, so the support comes to under a euro per child per month.
Can I choose the school?
We match classes to schools based on need, together with teachers in Lviv. We'll let you know which school your class went to.
How do I know the support arrived?
We email you which school your class was matched to. After the mascot visit, we send photos and greetings from the class.
Is this a donation or sponsorship?
For companies it is sponsorship: you get an itemised invoice and partner visibility. For individuals it is support, with a receipt.
Can we give this as a Christmas gift?
Yes. Many companies give classes as a Christmas gift to staff or customers. We provide a social media image and a short text to tell people about it.
Who runs this in Lviv?
Classes are chosen together with the Lviv City Centre for the Professional Development of Teachers and School No. 91. Geego trains the teachers and delivers the logins.
What if a school can't continue, for example due to evacuation?
The support is moved to another class in the Lviv region, and we let you know.
Can we get Geego for a Finnish school too?
