During the presentation they talked about the latest approaches to the study of history. Is it possible to teach history without leaving home, and how to interest students to study it? How do modern paper books become multimedia? How to use games while learning? This is a far from complete list of issues raised in the interactive discussion.

“By the way, our listeners had a great opportunity to feel like schoolchildren – to "decipher" anagrams and “word quiz”, to solve crossword puzzles; download videos and video tasks to your smartphones; to explain illustrations, etc., – Dr. Shchupak remarked. - And so, to pass from the fifth class to the eighth - in only 45 minutes! And the most active "students" also received books as a gift, which they chose independently. The discussion lasted a long time after the presentation".

Some books on the history of the Holocaust were presented at the literature presentation, including the world-famous work of Swedish historians Stefan Bruchveld and Paul Levine, “Tell Ye Your Children” (the first Ukrainian edition, including a section on the Holocaust in Ukraine written by Dr. Shchupak) “Tkuma” Institute).

The policy of memory of the presidents of Ukraine (1994-2014): background, message, implementation, results"," Decommunization in Ukraine as a state policy and as a socio-cultural phenomenon".
