Project Goals
The project’s goal is to increase the appreciation of dialogue about fundamental values among Ukrainians and thereby contributing to a democratic and pluralistic society. The pedagogical modules to be developed will serve as a framework, built around the app “Hidden Memories”, in which a constructive dialogue on the fundamental values of a democratic, liberal order can be held in a safe environment.
In combination with the concept of historical memory and creative tools, we want to establish a space of freedom of expression in which a far less polarized but rather critical and differentiated discourse on the topic of the recent Ukrainian history and its underlying values can be possible. Thus, we want to encourage a peaceful dialogue, tolerance towards different opinions and enable teachers to develop critical thinking among their students.
Target Group
The primary target group of the project are teachers of Ukrainian secondary schools. Together with 24 teachers from each of the 24 oblasts of Ukraine we will develop the pedagogical modules which will be available to all Ukrainian teachers and trainers of non-formal education in the end of the project.

Outcomes / Achievements
Within the follow-up we equip teachers and trainers with pedagogical modules that encourage a secure and differentiated exchange on the topic of Maidan 2013/14. These pedagogical modules shall facilitate discussions about underlying fundamental values standing behind the different perspectives on the topic. This way the project contributes to overcoming the currently rather polarized and heated atmosphere when it comes to dabates about the events on Maidan 2013/14. Beyond that it supports important democratic values such as peaceful dialogue, tolerance and pluralism.
