More than 3,000 school buildings in Ukraine are currently severely damaged or destroyed as a result of ongoing military aggression. More than a third of Ukrainian pupils only have access to distance learning. A large number of pupils do not attend school because their safety is not guaranteed: there are no shelters. Internal migration to safer parts of the country has put the education infrastructure in less war-affected regions under severe strain, some schools operate three shifts a day. Pupils and teachers are facing the problems of emotional and psychological well-being. The following key priorities are identified in the light of these and other challenges related to education in Ukraine: - Access to education; - Pupils' and teachers' safety; - Educational gaps due to inadequate education process; - Teacher burnout and pupils’ psychological well-being. In terms of the needs of educational infrastructure which exist today and will remain in place for the near future, Ukraine will require the multi-purpose education centers in regional centers covering an area of up to 50 kilometers. The examination of a multitude of arguments at the competition development phase has led to a decision to develop the concept of a Multifunctional Education Center. Multifunctional Education Center is to accommodate around 550 children of all ages, from primary school to lyceum, with facilities for temporary accommodation for pupils and teachers, spaces for community activities and psychological rehabilitation, and a dual-use shelter. Adaptive Reuse Architectural Design means an architectural work, a set of architectural solutions for a building design featuring maximum solutions for the site, the interior and the exterior of the building, which can be applied independently of the specific target site or location, and could be re-used, in adapted form, for multiple different locations, each time by individually integrating and adapting it to the local context. High-quality, sustainable, ready-to-localize project designs obtained via the contest will be provided free to the communities and donors. It will expedite the rebuilding of schools, saving time and resources for the country that suffered greatly from the unrighteous and cruel invasion.

The program task of this competition is the conceptual design of the congress center with a proposal for arrangement of additional facilities along the route of the road to Dubrovnik within the given location within the part of the zone "Draženska Gora", the city of Trebinje. The congress activity is a polyvalent symbiosis of new facilities that MH “ERS“ wants to establish on the territory of the city, and they represent multifunctional economic and cultural branches that also have some quite specific benefits compared to other types of business. The congress activity combines the expanded scientific, professional, educational and commercial branch of the economy. Meetings of this type present the latest professional knowledge and achievements in a particular field, thus including the area where the meeting takes place in the map and the agenda cycle of a particular activity. The architectural and spatial framework for their realization is a hybrid facility of combined content that primarily enables hosting of congress events. The architectural features of a new complex and its content indicate future developments in the construction sector in the zone of its location; by activating the area concerned, it gains in value and becomes a desirable location for aditional attractive facilities. The idea to build a congress center at a given location is part of a broader vision of the development of "dubrovački pravac" of the western zone of Trebinjsko polje (karst field); along with the congress center, it is necessary, at the level of the urban scheme, to design a wider ensemble of additional facilities, namely: a high category hotel, a sports hall and certain public city purposes facilities.
