SET University and ZibraAI Charity NFT initiative to support education in Ukraine

SET University partners with startups ZebraAI to launch’Ukrainian Tech: building the future’ – a charitable non-fungible token (NFT) project.

SET University and ZibraAI create a charitable NFT collection to support education in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. The initiative presents 30 NFT artworks generated using in-house artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology.

ZibraAI is a Ukrainian deep-tech startup that creates technologies and products based on AI for the game development industry

The partner, SET University, is a Ukrainian non-profit educational institution that offers higher education for the technology industry.

All funds raised from the sale of the collection will be used to fund scholarships for educational programs in cybersecurity, blockchain and AI for Ukrainian students.

Speaking about the creation of the project, SET University’s President said, Iryna Volnytska, explains how it seeks to reflect the future of Ukraine.

“We tried to imagine the future of Ukraine and what it might look like in 70, 100 or 200 years,” Volnytska comments. “Will it be technological? We are undoubtedly already showing a high level of digitalisation.”

Despite this prediction, she confirms that central areas still require development. Volnytska points to education as an enabler for this development.

“We know that positive changes will be real only with high-quality higher education,” she says. “Without this component, it is impossible to imagine the country’s future recovery and development.”

Sirens Gallery

Sirens Gallery is a charitable NFT project that uses technology to help overcome the humanitarian crisis caused by the Russian invasion. It is the result of the initiative shared between ZibraAI and SET University. The project joins the strong response from the fintech industry to help Ukraine amid the ongoing war.

Young people form the main focus of the project, since their experiences will now dictate what the country’s future looks like. Without a doubt, e.geducation and creating equal educational opportunities is critically lacking in times of war.

The gallery consolidates contemporary artists and members of the technology industry to reinforce the important role of education in Ukraine’s future.

The gallery will contain 30 photos, all of which tell a short story about the Ukraine of the future, its discoveries, changes and challenges.

All artwork will be available for purchase as NFT tokens. The cost of NFT artwork ranges from $150 to $1000.

The release will take place in two stages. The first drop already took place on 23 November. The collaboration confirms a further decline before the end of the year.

The educational renaissance of Ukraine

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has damaged 2,405 educational institutions and destroyed 270. This destruction has thus completely impoverished Ukraine’s student community.

“We are very happy to partner with SET University and hope that thanks to this more students will get the decent education they deserve,” comments Oleksandr Petrenkoco-founder and CEO of ZibraAI.
