Video conference for teachers and students of the Asia-Pacific region

insidethegatesOn May 12, 2022 the director of UCHS Dr. Anatolii Podolskyi gave a lecture dedicated to Ukrainian resistance during the war in Ukraine and russian aggression that has been going on for more than 3 months. It was an online conference held in French cultural centre in Tokyo. Approximately 200 university and high school students together with their teachers participated in such an important event. Colleagues and their students represented 7 countries of the Pacific region: Japan, Australia, Cambodia, China, South Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Students presented their educational institutions and their specialization during the conference. So the listeners of the video conference were future historians, geographers, political scientist and geopolitical experts. Participants of the conference expressed massive support to Ukraine and wished a speedy Victory over the russian invaders and occupiers!

In fact, a kind of online connection took place during the conference: Kyiv-Tokyo. The problems highlighted by Dr. Podolskyi during his lecture addressed the issue of rethinking the events of World War II under the influence of modern russian aggression and Ukraine's struggle for its own identity, freedom and Ukrainian statehood, comparing the war crimes of Hitler's Germany and putin's russia.

The video conference was held in English and was an educational event for the Asia-Pacific zone of AEFE educational institutions. Several international French secondary schools and universities from Tokyo, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Shanghai, Sydney, Seoul and Kyoto took part. All participants are students majoring in HGGSP (history, geography, geopolitics, political science).
