Culture.
Artur Pridiokov, a Ukrainian educator, is among the finalists of the Global Teacher Prize for 2023. Proidakov is a Ukrainian teacher who was raised in Kadiivka and won the Global Teacher Prize Ukraine for 2021. He now teaches Ukrainian and literature at a Kyiv School. “Every conversation, every moment spent together becomes part of the important activity of a modern teacher, whose educational process is not conducted only in class, but where the lesson is a prologue to the long process of personality formation,” Proidakov has written. Proidakov, who was a teacher in the Covid-19 epidemic, developed an introduction course on Ukrainian Literature, which millions of his peers have found very useful. Proidakov is continuing to implement educational programs despite the war. Among his recent initiatives are a “Speak” course for people interested in learning Ukrainian, conversation clubs for temporarily displaced people in Ivano-Frankivsk and free webinars for Ukrainian children. Proidakov hopes eventually to return to Donbas to continue teaching language and literature “to integrate the still-occupied region into the modern life of a European country.”
