On November 14, the Prestige Lyceum (Rivne) hosted a lesson on “Genocides, World Wars in History, and the Modern Russian-Ukrainian War.” The history lesson for students in grades 10-11 was conducted by Dr. Igor Shchupak.
During the 45 minutes of the lesson, high school students were not passive listeners but had the opportunity to participate in the discussion of current issues. Students expressed their own position and attitude to current events with interest, which they directly experienced from their own experience. The students themselves identified and drew parallels between modern events related to the Russian-Ukrainian war and the events of World War II. They spoke about the features of genocide as a phenomenon, about the need to condemn totalitarian regimes, about the Holocaust as an example of classic genocide and compared it with genocidal actions during modern wars.

On November 1, the director of “Tkuma” Institute, Dr. Igor Shchupak, held an educational meeting with students and teaching staff of the Yuriy Lypa Ukrainian Heritage School in Toronto (Canada).
Thanks to the organizational support of the school principal, Ms. Oksana Sokolyk, an educational lesson was held dedicated to the modern Russian-Ukrainian war and its reflection in Ukrainian history textbooks. School students have long been using textbooks from the Ukrainian Educational Publishing Center "Orion" and historical atlases created with the participation of the leading Ukrainian cartographer Iryna Rudenko. These educational materials are used not only in Canada, but also in many Ukrainian schools in Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Slovakia, the USA and other countries.

On October 3, the deputy director of “Tkuma” Institute, Dr. Yehor Vradii, and the director of the Institute, Dr. Igor Shchupak, met with students and teachers of the Lviv Polygraphic College of the Ukrainian Academy of Typography. The class was devoted to the tragedy of Babyny Yar, the Holocaust, and the modern genocide of the Russian Federation against the Ukrainian people. During the class, attention was also paid to the resistance to evil in the past and in our days – in particular, to the Ukrainian saviors of the Jews, the Righteous Among the Nations, the figure of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi. Unfortunately, the slogan “Never again” is completely devalued today, under the conditions of Russian aggression and the repetition of the policy of “appeasement of the aggressor” by certain political forces of the West.
