Ukrzaliznytsia, in partnership with the international organization All Hands and Hearts, is launching a new stage in the development of the Iron Land network of children's spaces. Play and learning areas will be renovated at railway stations and will be created directly inside station shelters for the first time.
The Iron Land project grew from the idea that childhood should not pause because of war or waiting for a train.
Children's centers are already operating at Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia railway stations. Now they will undergo a major modernization: spaces will be systematically filled with new toys, interactive activities, and modern educational materials. This was announced by Ukrzaliznytsia.
A key innovation will be the arrangement of dedicated children's zones inside the station shelters. The main goal is to provide children with emotional comfort and a sense of a safe space even during air-raid alarms.
According to Netta Muk, the chief executive officer of All Hands & Hearts, play is an opportunity for young children to feel joy and briefly distract themselves from difficult circumstances.
Going forward, the partners plan to expand the Iron Land network to other railway stations across the country so that childhood continues regardless of the route or circumstances.
