Research and methodological seminar for educators in Lviv
On 15-16 June, we met with more than twenty participants - mostly teachers from Lviv - to discuss the memory of the Holocaust, other cases of genocide on Ukrainian territory, and the current challenges of working with these topics.
The seminar was made possible by the French-Ukrainian cooperation between the Shoah Memorial (Paris) and the Ukrainian Centre for Jewish Studies (Kyiv). The two organisations developed the programme of the event, and their French colleagues agreed to come to meet Ukrainian teachers and other lecturers and scholars "live".
The seminar participants also included educators who travelled from Odesa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsky, Chernihiv, and Vinnytsia regions at their own expense. This diversity of participants and their experiences only added depth and productivity to the planned discussions.
Much time was devoted to pedagogical challenges - how to talk about the Holocaust and genocide right now, in the context of the full-scale invasion and mass crimes committed by the russian occupiers on Ukrainian territory.
Among the speakers were representatives of the Lviv Center for Urban History and the Territory of Terror Memorial Museum, who presented their projects and teaching tools.
