Z.O.D.D.I.A.K. continues to expand the direction of educational and social initiatives, supporting projects that create real opportunities for the new generation. Since April 2026, the organization has become the main sponsor of the SMART Vasara (Smart summer) camp, a modern educational program for children, implemented in partnership with Academy of Young Scientists with the support of the Vilnius City Municipality. It is an environment where studying is combined with personal development, creativity, teamwork and a genuine curiosity about the world.
The special significance of this partnership is that the program opens places for children of Ukrainian families who were forced to leave their homes because of the war. For children aged 7 to 10, participating in the camp will be an opportunity not only to spend the summer in a safe and supportive environment, but also to gain experiences that strengthen confidence, curiosity and a sense of the future.
Summer Sessions supported by Z.O.D.D.I.A.K.
As part of its sponsorship, Z.O.D.D.I.A.K. finances two sessions of the SMART Vasara camp for children of Ukrainian families:
First session: June 8–12, 2026
•
Second session: June 15–19, 2026
Venue: Academy of Young Scientists, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Each session involves a rich program that combines modern technologies, a research approach, team interaction and outdoor activities.
A space where education goes beyond the classical model
The SMART Vasara camp creates an environment in which studying ceases to be a set of formal classes and turns into a space of discovery. Here children not only gain new knowledge, but also learn to think, experiment, collaborate and put ideas into practice.
In the camp program participants will have the opportunity to:
assemble and program LEGO robots;
•
get acquainted with the principles of artificial intelligence and the possibilities of its application;
•
learn the basics of programming through interactive projects;
•
create your own AR projects (augmented reality);
•
develop and test models of wind and solar power plants;
•
integrate the principles of a healthy lifestyle into technological activities;
•
spend time in parks and outdoors;
•
strengthen team spirit through joint activities;
•
engage in physical activity and outdoor activities.
This approach forms a generation capable of thinking critically, acting creatively, adapting to changes and confidently interacting with the world of the future.
Support for children who especially need to feel supported
For a child who has experienced a forced move and the consequences of the war, it is especially important to find itself in an environment where there is stability, attention, and the opportunity to be a child again — to play, make friends, learn and dream. Participating in SMART Vasara helps children regain an inner sense of security, make new friends, and feel that there are people around who care about their future.
By supporting such initiatives together with Academy of Young Scientists, Z.O.D.D.I.A.K. consistently creates a culture of social development in which help is combined with long-term meaning, and caring for children becomes a contribution to a sustainable and creative future.
Together we create a summer of opportunities
The collaboration with Academy of Young Scientists and the participation of Z.O.D.D.I.A.K. in the development of Camp SMART Vasara is an example of how combining resources, values and a professional approach can create real change. When children get access to a quality educational environment, mentor support, and an inspired community where not only vivid summer memories are born, but also a foundation for further growth.
