20 September 2023

Since May 2022, the seminar series “Historians and the War: Rethinking the Future” has been engaging the world’s premiere experts in the fields of history and political sciences about their thoughts on how history is changing – in front of our eyes – in light of the Russian war against sovereign Ukraine.

By looking into the future, drawing on the experience of post-war transitions in other global contexts, and returning to the topic of justice and reconciliation in societies, the seminar participants will discuss what transformations should take place in the educational sphere of Ukrainian society in the context of its integration into the European cultural and political space. Which vectors of educational development should Ukraine and its partners choose to achieve long-term peace in the country, the region, Europe, and the world?

The presenters will be:
