Lessons Learned from 25 Years of Resistance and Remembrance
History Is Now
Throughout the initiative, participants will be supported by a network of Ukrainian and American museum and heritage professionals who will assist in the project’s implementation. In addition, each participant will be paired with an innovative, experienced Sites of Conscience mentor in the United States for the project’s duration. Virtual learning opportunities and exchanges will be augmented by in-person exchanges, including a five-day exchange in Washington, D.C., where project participants, mentors and ICSC staff will exchange knowledge and visit U.S. museums and heritage sites to explore how critical thinking about the past can advance social justice today. A final, culminating meeting in Poland will bring together participants, mentors and Sites of Conscience from Central and Eastern Europe to reflect on lessons learned and identify key priorities for strengthening Ukrainian museums’ role in building a healthy and thriving democracy in Ukraine. Museums Strengthen Democracy will also produce a range of knowledge-sharing products, such as webinars, toolkits, videos and recommendations to be disseminated to the broader field.
