The event in this country started on 6 September in the town of Ostroh, home to one of the oldest educational institutions in Eastern and Central Europe – the famous Ostroh Academy.

It was with an acquaintance with the Academy and the traditions of citizenship education within its walls that Ukrainian Eduthon began.

The first day of Eduthon also included a discussion on the new challenges for citizenship education in war.

The participants have three days ahead of them, full of presentations, discussions and masterclasses on challenges for citizenship education and the development of project ideas to promote it in different regions of Ukraine.

The aim of EENCE-Eduthon is to identify and support the best ideas to promote citizenship education and democratic values in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and Poland/Lithuania.

EENCE-Eduthon is organised by the Eastern European Association for Civic Education with the support of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) with funds from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In Ukraine, the Eduthon is coordinated by the Independent Media Trade Union of Ukraine.
