Class in the Subway Station - Berlin Action Shows War Reality - Berlin’s subway classroom reveals Ukraine’s underground war on education
A replica classroom has opened in Berlin’s Alexanderplatz subway station to draw attention to the challenges faced by Ukrainian children during the war. The display, enclosed in plexiglass, will remain on view until December 21. It highlights how many young students in Ukraine now attend lessons in underground stations and bomb shelters to avoid airstrikes.
The installation features twelve desks and a chalkboard, mirroring the makeshift classrooms used across Ukraine. UNICEF has helped transform subway tunnels and shelters into learning spaces after schools were damaged or destroyed in the fighting.
On Wednesday morning, students from Berlin’s Jenaplan School in Neukölln will mark the exhibition’s launch by writing wishes for Ukrainian children on paper butterflies. Federal Development Minister Reem Alabali-Radovan (SPD) is also set to attend the opening.
The project aims to show the harsh reality for Ukrainian pupils who must continue their education amid constant danger. Many have no choice but to study in cramped, improvised settings to stay safe from attacks.
The exhibition will stay at Alexanderplatz until December 21. Visitors can see firsthand how the war has forced education underground for thousands of children. The initiative also encourages support for those affected by the ongoing conflict.
