Online course "How we will remember"

At the end of 2022 - beginning of 2023 together with the Territory of Terror Memorial Museum and NGO “Insha Osvita” we have conducted an online course “How we will remember”. 

The course was attended by 114 participants - presenters of different professional communities in the sphere of culture. 
Total duration of the lecturing material of the course is 9 hours and 21 minutes, where English language material (with Ukrainian translation) - 1 hour 20 minutes. 

How will we remember this phase of war - war of russia against Ukraine? How will we collect new museum items and which ethical norms should we stick to, as this memory is so close and so painful? What museum expositions, or even museums, will be created? Will these museums be the new, the museums of the future? If yes, then what is this radical change? Will museums have room not only for documentary exhibitions but also for artistic projects? Will we return the stolen, and how?

The online course consists of 8 sessions. The course focuses on field research, data collection, archives and museum exhibitions, the experience of exported collections, and working with heritage and traumatic history.
The course was adapted to the realities of the unstable electricity supply and network. Participants received lecture recordings on YouTube.

The training program on memorial practices will be of interest to municipal museum workers, artists, independent cultural managers, local authorities, private collectors, and anyone interested in museum work.
