As we are approaching the two-year anniversary of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it’s crucial to reflect on the enduring impact of this war. While the media often highlights the visible – Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and the news from the frontline, one critical aspect remains largely overlooked: the impact of war on education.
EuroClio advocates for accessible and safe education for all kids, regardless of their background or circumstance. In alignment with this mission, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our full-length documentary (52 minutes long), “War on Education.” This film dives deep into the far-reaching consequences of Russian aggression on the Ukrainian education system.
Featuring insightful interviews with prominent figures from international NGOs, governmental bodies, journalists, and educators, “War on Education” deeply covers this issue. The Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine, as well as Emmanuelle Abrioux, Chief of Education at UNICEF Ukraine, and other notable characters in this field, share their invaluable perspectives as well as possible solutions for the problem.
Accompanying the documentary release is a concerted campaign aimed at supporting Ukrainian educators and students. We are proud to collaborate with numerous esteemed organisations and our friends to raise awareness through screenings of the documentary at institutions worldwide. Starting on February 24, 2024, and onwards, these screenings invite all who are indifferent about this cause to join us in solidarity.
The list of participating organisations and venues where you can view the documentary will be available online soon.
Interested in hosting a screening? Reach out to us at mahdalina@euroclio.eu, and we’ll provide you with all the necessary information and materials to join the campaign.
For those unable to attend local screenings, fear not. On February 24, Euroclio and the partners will host an exclusive first online screening of the documentary.
Let us stand together in solidarity with Ukrainian educators and students. Join us as we shed light on this critical issue and contribute for a future where education remains untouched by conflicts.
Stay tuned for further updates on the documentary and accompanying events. Together, we can make a difference.
