Sofia, Tosha and Mykyta started their journalistic education. They joined a group of Ukrainian refugee teenagers already involved in the project — including Sofia Radysh, whose work secured her a year-long tenure as the editor-in-chief of Harbingers‘ Magazine, and Sofiya Tkachenko, who is currently the Newsletter and Social Media editor and the first recipient of the Harbingers’ Scholarship.

Sofia, Mykykta and Tosha started their adventure with journalism with a ten-session-long Basic Journalism: News & Opinion course run by Stanislaw Skarzynski, the director of the Harbinger Academy. Ukrainian students’ participation is sponsored via the Harbinger Academy Refugee Scholarship Scheme.
