Published last August, the feature explored how Ukranian children and nursery practitioners were adapting to the war six months on from when Russia invaded the country.

Jozwiak, who visited Lviv, a city in Ukraine, to obtain the story has won the Freelance Journalism Award for Best Print Journalist.

Sponsored by the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), award judges called the piece, along with two other published articles covering the subject, a ‘pleasure to read’, with writing that was ‘descriptive, emotive and well-researched’.

Jozwiak said, ‘Nursery World backed my ambition to report on how the war was affecting early years education right from the start. Without it I would not have received a fellowship from the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma which enabled me to travel to Ukraine.
