Center for Educational Initiatives (CEI) has been founded on the 28th of March 1996. The organization has been set because of the initiative coming from pedagogues of Lviv city, who wished to establish an organization which could implement and promote the innovative ideas in the sphere of education, especially in the high schools. During 24 years of its existence CEI has experienced a few phases in its development; it has changed firstly from organization which has been concentrated only on activities directed to pupils and teachers from high school to, at present, a centre which unites social active and society interested citizens.
At the present stage the main mission of CEI is to create society interested and active citizens. This aim is going to be achieved by starting various initiatives in the sphere of education, science and culture.
In the previous years, the work of CEI has been concentrated on:
- starting the local partnership in the state, citizen and business structures,
- supporting the innovations in the pedagogue’s and citizen’s sphere (high school),
- development of the voluntary service.
