The new project Museums: Rethinking

insidethegatesWe are pleased to announce the launch of our new project Museums: Rethinking. The project is being implemented by the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies and aims to support local Ukrainian museums and cultural institutions, encourage their networking and communication with each other.

Our goal is to help cultural institutions rethink or create their own exhibitions or cultural events to highlight the history of the Holocaust and World War II in the context of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

The project will give participants the opportunity to:

  • ● get acquainted with the work of 15 local cultural institutions that have already been selected as a result of the competition;
  • ● receive individual or group consultations from experts;
  • ● visit/receive colleagues from other project institutions;
  • ● receive funding to implement specific changes in their own cultural institutions.

The project is aimed to create a professional space for learning and sharing, supporting each other and combining peer-to-peer learning.

The project is funded by the Stabilisation Fund for Culture and Education 2023 of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut.
