#Educational Camp

[dnser21]

So apparently some of my classmates are preparing a camp revolving around discussing alternative means of education in a classroom--- so here we go! Time to share it some more, because they're working really hard on organising this camp & I would love it if it got some more spotlight here on tumblr :D

I'll copy+paste their text below in case anyone is interested!

----

Are you interested in the science behind learning and how different educational methods are using it in practice? Join the summer camp "Education for Future", where you will learn about and use different unconventional pedagogical methods, such as field investigations, collective learning, critical pedagogy, and more. The camp takes place from the 16th to the 29th of June in Denmark.

If you are a teacher or educator or someone simply interested in the topic, be sure to check out if it's something for you, and if you know someone who might be interested, we'd appreciate it if you could share it with them.

Dozens of Ukrainian children from a Russian-occupied city in Ukraine were taken to Belarus and sent to “emergency survival training” with the Belarusian military, according to local media.

The Belarus 4 Mogilev state television channel reported on Wednesday that 35 children from the city of Antratsyt in eastern Ukraine, which Russia has occupied since 2014, were sent to the eastern Belarusian city of Mogilev, where they were taught “how to behave in extreme situations” in exercises with the Belarusian military.

In the report, the children — some of whom are wearing tracksuits with Russian flags printed on their sleeves — are shown holding on to each other and covering their faces during a fire drill.

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia and Belarus from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. In July 2023, Russian Children’s Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova put the figure of Ukrainian children “received” by Russia at 700,000, claiming most were accompanied by their parents or other relatives.

A study by Yale University found that between September 2022 and May 2023, over 2,400 Ukrainian children aged 6 to 17 were deported to Belarus from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine, which are occupied by Russian forces.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko met with a group of deported Ukrainian kids last month, promising to “embrace these children, bring them to our home, keep them warm and make their childhood happier.”

In March 2023, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of overseeing the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.

it’s very easy to forget due to the sanitization of them that fairy tales were the original scary stories. they were told to children as a way to keep them in line and make them behave. this is one of the many reasons that i believe, as a huge fairy tale fan, dimension 20’s neverafter is the best adaptation out there.

sure, maybe i’m a bit biased because i’m such a big dimension 20 fan, but i was a fan of fairy tales first, and neverafter was everything i ever could have wanted and more. it’s one of the only adaptations (if not the only) that actually acknowledges the original purpose to keep children in line and denounce it while also appreciating them for what they were. fairy tales are scary and gruesome and despite their bad messages, incredibly interesting.

ylfa and pinocchio are two children whose story revolves around obeying adults, and both of them take that back and redefine their own lives. children are people, and need to make their own choices and mistakes to learn from. ylfa strayed from the path. of course she did! pinocchio lied and misbehaved. of course he did! kids are going to do what speaks most to them, and sometimes we just have to let them suffer the consequences and, once again, learn from their mistakes.

Thousands of Ukrainian children forcibly relocated to Russia are at risk of losing their cultural heritage, a new report from The Guardian claims.

Somewhere between 20,000 and 700,000 Ukrainian children have been relocated from their homes to Russia or Russian-occupied territories, often involuntarily, and put under a program aimed at erasing their emotional and psychological ties to Ukraine. “Every day they said to me that I would be staying here for ever and would never leave Russia,” one Ukrainian child told The Guardian, recounting more than a year in Russian custody. “They told me that Ukraine doesn’t exist, that it never existed, that we’re all Russians” …

“At times the other kids would beat me for being pro-Ukrainian.”

Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Andriy Kostin, claimed that Russia’s action constituted the largest mass deportation of children in Europe since World War II. He said Russia was trying to destroy Ukraine by “severing familial bonds and erasing the Ukrainian identity of the deported children.” Olena Zelenska, Ukraine’s first lady, has called for international help to bring them home.
