AMAZONKY - exploring the untold stories of women and their activism in times of war

Among other topics, 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

We look forward to getting to know your perspective and to further develop the seminar based on your ideas and feedback. We schedule plenty of time for reflection in different formats (individual, in small groups, in the whole group) and for open spaces for your contributions. You can also send us your ideas in advance and we will do our best to implement them (with your support).

The project is co-funded by the European Union.
