| Summary: | In the context of martial law in Ukraine, the educational sector has faced unprecedented challenges,
particularly in the realm of preschool education. This paper presents a case study of the Zakarpattia
Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education and its rapid response to transform its curriculum to
support preschool educators in these trying times. Through a comprehensive review of the curriculum
changes, the study documents how the Institute has tailored its educational offerings to foster peace,
cultivate a culture of peace and tolerance, and empower educators with critical thinking skills necessary
for decision-making in crisis conditions. The paper explores the significant shifts in teaching strategies,
content delivery, and psychological support mechanisms that have been implemented to address the
pressing needs of educators. These adaptations are crucial not only for immediate conflict resolution
but also for the long-term objective of building a peaceful society. By enhancing the quality of education
for teachers, the study underscores the Institute’s role in shaping a future that is resilient, educated, and
peace-oriented for Ukraine and beyond
