Yevrabmol

Yevrabmol[1] (a Russian acronym for "Jewish Working Youth, sometimes spelled Evrabmol) was an experimental trade school that operated in Odessa (now in Ukraine) from 1921 to 1937.

The school was a communal technical school that became a home for children and youths who were orphaned during the turbulent times of World War I, pogroms, the Russian revolution and the Russian Civil War.

The students worked on the land and in the factory to produce marketable products to make the school financially self-sufficient.

The students and most of the teachers lived, studied and worked in two large buildings in the middle of downtown Odessa.

The school principals were impressed by the then new Dalton Plan and implemented it, adjusting it to their learning environment.
