For Avalon, investing in education means investing in the people who will shape the future of Ukrainian cities. That is why we continue to collaborate systematically with leading educational institutions and have renewed our partnership with the Kharkiv School of Architecture (KSA) this year.

As part of this collaboration, Avalon awarded two scholarships to KSA students, supporting future architects on their path to professional fulfillment.

On September 14, an official scholarship award ceremony took place at the Kharkiv School of Architecture’s new location. For the Avalon team, this event was an opportunity not only to meet the scholarship recipients but also to get a closer look at the environment in which a new generation of Ukrainian architects is being shaped today.

During the tour, the Kharkiv School of Architecture team introduced the guests to the School’s new facilities, lecture halls, the specifics of the educational process, and modern approaches to architectural education. A particularly heartwarming part of the meeting was the presentation of gifts to the School’s patrons—as a symbol of gratitude to those who contribute to the development of education and support students.

For Avalon, the partnership with Kharkiv State Academy of Arts is part of a much broader effort to collaborate with educational institutions. We strive to ensure that this collaboration goes beyond one-time support and evolves into long-term relationships between the education sector and the business community—through scholarships, working with young talent, sharing practical experience, and creating opportunities for professional development.

“Architecture shapes what our cities will look like decades from now. But above all, it is shaped by people—their knowledge, their courage to think in new ways, and their responsibility for the environment they create. That’s why supporting students is not just a contribution to their education for us. It is a long-term investment in the quality of Ukrainian architecture and the future of our cities,” said Anna Romanova, HR Director at Avalon

We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Kharkiv School of Architecture and to support young professionals as they embark on their professional journeys. Because the cities of the future begin with the people who are learning to create them today.
