Information about the guest lecturer:

Natalia Otrishchenko (PhD in sociology, 2015) is a researcher at the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe in Lviv. She has been involved in many international projects, including the “Region, Nation and Beyond” at the University of St Gallen, “Memories of Vanished Populations” at Lund University, “Historical Cultures in Transition” at Collegium Civitas, and “Legacies of Communism?” at ZZF. In 2022-23, she was a Fulbright scholar at the Department of Sociology, Columbia University. In 2024-25, Natalia is a UNET fellow at ZOiS. She is the author and editor of “Conversations with Those Who Ask about the War” (2024) (https://store.lvivcenter.org/en/product/conversations-with-those-who-ask-about-the-war/).

Since March 2022, she has led the Ukrainian team of the “24/02/22, 5 am: Testimonies from the war” (later U-CORE) international documentation initiative. Her academic interests include qualitative research methods, oral history, urban sociology, and sociology of expertise.

Information about the upcoming lecture:

During the lecture “Gaining Historical Agency: Ukrainian Society from Euromaidan to the Full-scale Russian Invasion”, Dr. Natalia Otrishchenko will address the topic of involvement in history and how it is reflected during the moments of rupture. She will speak about the sense of urgency, revision of the structures of dependency, ideas of justice, and personal responsibility that motivate people to act during events that have long-lasting effects on society. Starting with Ukraine's gaining independence and subsequent experiences of protests in the 2000s, the lecture will dwell in more detail on the experience of the Euromaidan, when, for many people, abstract ideas and values acquired a concrete embodiment. Natalia developed her talk based on several research projects, including “Voices of resistance and hope” (2013-14), “Historical cultures in transition” (2018-19), and “24/02/22, 5 am: Testimonies from the war” (2022).

This lecture is the fifth of a series of lectures on the topic "Ukraine between history and modernity: war challenges, historical narratives and a conflict of interpretations".

‘THE WELL-BEING OF UKRAINIAN CHILDREN WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF FORCED DISPLACEMENT IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEMS OF EU MEMBER STATES’

Ivan Posylnyi

Date: November 28th, 2024, 14.00-16.00 (CET).

Location: Room 13, Willy Brandt Centre, ul.Strażnicza 1-3, Wrocław

Link ZOOM: https://zoom.us/j/96517592593?pwd=SActhsJbZ1FBI4kmcm4YHeXGO7Qrtc.1

Meeting ID: 965 1759 2593
Passcode: 057185

Information about the guest lecturer:

Ivan Posylnyi is a Luhansk-born Ukrainian sociologist, residing in Warsaw, Poland. He holds an MA in Applied Sociology from Kharkiv National University and an MA in Sociology from the Graduate School of Social Research of Lancaster University. He has been involved in research on children and adolescents’ rights since 2016, particularly on the topics of foster care in Ukraine, and children’s identity in occupied areas. Since 2022 Ivan has collaborated with Polish (CEO) and international (UNICEF, Plan International, Save the Children) organizations researching the well-being of Ukrainian children and adolescents with displacement experiences. His interests also include forced migration and internal/external displacement, human rights, and identity formation in occupation. Currently, he is working on a PhD dissertation thesis at Warsaw University and is teaching the course “Ethnicity and Identity in Donbas”.

The upcoming lecture by Ivan Posylnyi on the topic "The Well-being of Ukrainian Children with the Experience of Forced Displacement in the Education Systems of EU Member States" will focus on the well-being of Ukrainian children in schools of selected EU member states. What influenced their integration in the educational environment and what obstacles were there in the first two years after the full-scale war began? What problems did children experience and where did they find support? What changed over almost three years? In his presentation, Ivan will discuss these and other questions with particular attention to the Polish educational context. He will reflect on his conversations with Ukrainian pupils in Polish schools, as well as interviews with teachers, intercultural assistants, Polish pupils, caregivers, psychotherapists. Finally, the presentation will elaborate on the narratives of national identity present in the school discourse and how various school actors contribute to such narratives' formation.

This lecture is the third of a series of lectures on the topic "Ukraine between history and modernity: war challenges, historical narratives and a conflict of interpretations".

„Teaching entangled history.

A multilateral dialogue on teaching Ukrainian history in schools in the context of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine"

18-19 listopada 2024

we Wrocławiu

Obecna wojna na pełną skalę rozpoczęta przez Federację Rosyjską przeciwko Ukrainie w lutym 2022 r. skłoniła do negocjacji w sprawie członkostwa Ukrainy w UE. Ukraińskie władze, naukowcy i nauczyciele intensywnie pracują nad nowymi programami nauczania i podręcznikami szkolnymi, które przedstawiałyby historię Ukrainy w szerszym kontekście europejskim i globalnym. Widzimy tu wyzwania dla historycznego samorozumienia Ukrainy jako części historii Europy Środkowej i potrzebę reagowania na fałszowanie historii przez rosyjskich historyków i polityków. Wojna przeciwko Ukrainie wymusiła również masową emigrację ukraińskich uczniów do krajów Unii Europejskiej, co stawia nowe wyzwania przed szkolną edukacją historyczną. Pojawiają się pytania, jak uczyć ukraińskiej historii w krajach UE. Głównym celem konferencji jest dyskusja na temat tego, w jaki sposób historia Ukrainy została przedstawiona w podręcznikach w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej oraz nowych inicjatyw i projektów dotyczących nauczania historii Ukrainy w kontekście historii Europy. Realizacja celu będzie możliwa poprzez dyskusje ekspertów (historyków, politologów, przedstawicieli komisji podręcznikowych) z praktykami (nauczycielami). Konferencja ekspertów akademickich, naukowców, przedstawicieli komisji podręcznikowych i nauczycieli stworzy forum wymiany doświadczeń i współpracy badawczej.
