Audience: children 6–12 years old.
We provide an engaging introduction to the Holodomor topic through an interactive lesson featuring game elements. During the lesson, the lecturer will talk to the participants about the events that took place almost 100 years ago, about the life of Ukrainians in the Soviet Union, about the Holodomor genocide of 1932–1933 in Ukraine, organized by a communist totalitarian regime, and about the traditions of commemorating the Holodomor victims.
The main character of the game is a 12-year-old Katrusia who tries to avoid danger, find food, and survive the Holodomor. Participants help her by completing the tasks and learning about certain aspects of the preconditions and course of the Holodomor: what a ‘collective farm’ is, how Soviet authorities confiscated all food, what people ate, what ‘torgsins’ were, why Ukrainians were forced to leave home in search of food, etc. When children complete the task successfully, they receive grain and put it into a ‘hiding place’ for Katrusia.

The lesson costs 230 UAH for a group of up to 5 people and 600 UAH for a group of up to 12 people. The participants also need to buy entrance tickets to the museum.
