The conference is a long-standing academic and educational event with a rich history and established traditions. Mykolaiv National University, which was granted the status of “V. O.

As of 2025, the conference has been held for 20 years, taking into account all existing challenges (the last six years in an online format: due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and during the period of Russian aggression against Ukraine). During this period, educators from preschool and general education institutions, college instructors, scientific and pedagogical staff, researchers from domestic and foreign higher education institutions, and representatives of scientific institutions (the Institute of Pedagogy, the Institute of Education Problems of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, the V. O. Sukhomlynsky, National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine). The daughter of the distinguished Ukrainian educator, Olga Vasylivna Sukhomlynska—Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, and Full Member of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine—also actively participated in the conference.
