About the seminar:
We’ll be focusing on empowering women during wartime, addressing their rights, and breaking down stereotypes surrounding feminism. We’ll be delving into:
- the experiences of female forced laborers during World War II, especially those who came from Ukraine to the Bunker Valentin.
- the activism of women in Russia’s current war against Ukraine.
Our seminar is about looking at wars through the perspective of feminism. One of the most powerful ways to do it is through personal storytelling. We want to hear your stories and reflections on women’s experiences in past and present wars. Together, we’ll explore the future of women’s activism in our respective contexts.
What is waiting for you:
We want this to be an engaging and enriching experience for you. �Throughout the week, we’ll use interactive and non formal methods like: - conducting workshops
- arranging sessions on gender studies and feminism
- applying storytelling methods
- organizing a public presentation of the results
- creating short videos and sharing them on social media.
