Supporting German Educators In Their Work Around The Topic of Russian War in Ukraine

Right before the Christmas holidays, we had our last training in 2022. By the invitation of the European Academy Berlin, we conducted several sessions in the framework of a three-day, interactive practical seminar "Freistunde Ukraine".

The event gathered multipliers who work in (non-)formal education sector in Germany and want to strengthen their knowledge, competencies, and sensitivity when working with the topic of the Russian war in Ukraine. The active exchange between participants and experts from Ukraine and Germany focused on the following questions: How can I explain the war to students in a way that is appropriate for the target group? How can I raise awareness of the mechanisms of propaganda, manipulation, and incitement in the digital age? How can I enable young people to distinguish information from disinformation in social networks? Among others, CRISP presented its "Hidden Memories" project and shared experiences of Ukrainian teachers.

Together with the group, we have collected existing needs and blind spots, brainstormed ideas for suitable solutions, and just in a while, we will start the development of the fitting educational materials.
