“Tkuma” Ukrainian Institute for Holocaust Studies continues its systematic work on researching the Holocaust history and genocides of the 20th century, understanding their lessons to form an atmosphere of tolerance, interethnic understanding, and the development of critical thinking among students.
In early June, a Summer School was held at the Nyzhnoduvansky Lyceum, aimed at overcoming educational losses caused by the full-scale war and supporting students in restoring their academic skills and knowledge.
As part of this initiative, an interactive history lesson was organized for students in grades 5-7. It was conducted by Iryna Piskareva, a teacher-methodologist, head of educational programs at “Tkuma” Institute, and co-author of school textbooks. During the lesson, students get acquainted with important pages of Ukrainian and world history, analyzed historical events and sources, and developed analytical thinking.
Special attention was paid to topics that help to educate children in universal human values, respect for other cultures, and understanding the tragedies of the past – particularly the history of the Holocaust – through a personal and humanistic perception.
This approach allows you to combine the acquisition of knowledge with the formation of sensitivity to complex historical topics that remain relevant in the modern world.
