Holodomor Museum Paticipated in an Educational Festival

From February 27 to March 1, the Art Arsenal hosted the “Neoсвітній Арсенал” (“Neosvitnii Arsenal”), a 4-day festival protest against the standard education system.

The topic of this year’s festival was “Superbrain: Left / Right Hemisphere.” The participants at the festival learned about how the brain works, the functions of its parts, its impact on our senses, and the connections and interactions between culture, science, art, and technology. The event brought together over 50 participants from across Ukraine, including museums, libraries, theatres, science promoters, publishing houses, and other institutions and companies with educational programs focused on edutainment.

For the first time, the Holodomor Museum team participated in one of the largest educational festivals, where we presented a new game for children and adolescents called “The Hiding Place”. By playing it, participants helped the 12-year-old Katia bypass the dangers and fill her hiding place with food supplies. Both children and adults explored ways of saving and surviving during the Holodomor and learned more about Ukraine’s history.

During the festival, we also announced the History Lab program for teens aged 11–15. During six lessons, participants will learn about the history of the Holodomor with the museum team and create comics with a professional comic maker. The program begins on Friday, April 3. Follow the museum’s announcements — we will start the program soon.
