Ukraine between history and present: challenges of war, historical narratives and conflicts of interpretation
A series of public lectures by Ukrainian scientists and researchers (Hybrid format)
June-December 2024
Location: Room 13, Willy Brandt Centre, ul. Strażnicza 1-3, Wrocław (with transmission in zoom)
It is very important not to forget that the Russian war against Ukraine is still ongoing, and solidarity with Ukraine is very important so that this war does not spread to other European countries. This war with many bloody crimes of the Russian army against the civilian population, with many monstrous destructions of civilian homes, hospitals, universities, schools and other civilian objects has been going on for more than 2 years now.
Information support is also extremely important, including supporting Ukrainian matter in public discourse and creating new platforms for discussing the important issues of Russia's criminal war against Ukraine. Therefore, at the Willy Brandt Center for German and European Studies (WBZ) there started a project aimed at the organization and conducting a series of public lectures by Ukrainian scientists and researchers on the topic “Ukraine between history and present: challenges of war, historical narratives and conflicts of interpretation”.
The project funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Five lectures are planned for this series, running from June to December 2024.
Another important goal of the project is promoting the development of professional networks on German and European topics between ZDES/DAAD, namely strengthening network relationships through the interaction of participants during discussions, thereby also forming the conditions for organizing future seminars for a network of centers on the current topics discussed as a continuation and further development of current Ukrainian research topics in the global political and cultural context.
