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.

You're walking down the street and suddenly see a name. No Grand Words. But a Story.

This is a stumbling stone — a small concrete cube with a brass plate. Often unnoticed by those rushing past, but deeply eloquent to those who pause. Each stone marks a story. A life. And a memory returning to the city. Since August 2025, the Kyiv project “One Stone — One Life: 80 Stumbling Stones for Kyiv” has continued its work. This autumn will bring new installations, new names, new research, and new teams, which we will begin forming in September. Follow our announcements — it might just be you
