Summary
The process of assimilation of common European values in Ukraine is impossible without making an effort to overcome the totalitarian past. The project "European Antitotalitarian Practices" suggests a new university course. Its key idea is the acknowledgment of the European Union as a real alternative to the threat of reproduction of totalitarian practices in Ukraine and worldwide.
Primary target groups are students, post-graduate students, staff, and administration of Chernihiv national pedagogical university, the pupils and teachers of secondary schools of Chernihiv region, scholars, city and region authorities, and wide audience.
The project is aimed to provide young people with the following knowledge:
1) the concept of totalitarianism and mechanisms of its reproduction
2) anti-totalitarian European practices and the possibilities of their implementation in Ukraine and worldwide. The course aims to train skills of 1) critical thinking; 2) opposition to informational manipulation of consciousness; 3) recognition of totalitarian reminiscences in new hybrid forms; 4) usage of European anti-totalitarian technologies; 5) suggesting Ukrainian antitotalitarian practices, which can be relevant to Europe.
The project main activities; teaching (90 hours per year, 8 teachers engaged) research-to-practice conferences, round-table debate, educational game, competition on scientific works for secondary school pupils of 10–11 forms. The students will receive the first research experience in EU studies, post-graduate alumni – first teaching experience.
The expected impact includes awareness by target groups the most effective European antitotalitarian practices, mechanisms, and competences of their implementation in Ukraine and worldwide. We expect growing interest in European Studies of school graduates, university post-graduates, and colleagues from other HEI of Ukraine and abroad.
