Mnemonika NGO Held a Workshop on Holocaust Remembrance and Related Educational Practices

insidethegatesOn 5-6 December 2025, Mnemonika NGO held a workshop in Rivne that brought together educators from across Ukraine to explore Holocaust remembrance, the local history of Sosonky, and contemporary approaches to teaching sensitive topics.

The programme combined work at the memorial site, lectures, and training sessions. Participants learned about the concept of the digital museum Sosonky: Crime and Memory. Maksym Hon discussed the transformations of memory about genocide victims, while Oleksandr Voitenko focused on methodological and pedagogical aspects of teaching Holocaust history, including trauma‑sensitive approaches. Noa Sigal presented the educational concept of the Yad Vashem memorial museum.

 

Kateryna Popova led a guided tour of the Sosonky memorial, and the Rivne case was highlighted as an example of local history that requires age‑appropriate educational work.

The workshop became a space for reflection, professional dialogue, and exchange - about how to speak with students about a difficult past responsibly and humanely.

The project Sosonky: Crime and Memory is supported by the EVZ Foundation.
