On September 7-8, 2023, a special event of the “Renaissance” foundation took place within the framework of the Congress of Culture<\/strong>. Public experts and representatives of the authorities gathered for the advocacy dialogue “Reforms and restoration of the humanitarian sphere of Ukraine: institutions of culture and national memory”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They participated in the discussion Alim Aliyev,<\/strong> Deputy General Director of the Ukrainian Institute; Yevhen Bystrytskyi, editor-in-chief of “Vision 2030”; Oksana Zabolotna<\/strong>, analyst of the Center for Joint Actions; Roman Kabachiy<\/strong>, publicist, historian, senior researcher of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War; Rostislav Karandeev<\/strong>, in at. Minister of Culture and Information Policy; Mykola Kniazhytskyi,<\/strong> people’s deputy, member of the parliamentary committee on humanitarian and information policy; Yuri Mykytyuk<\/strong>, head of regional programs, senior advocacy manager of the Coalition Reanimation Package of Reforms; Olesya Ostrovska-Lyuta,<\/strong> Director of State Enterprise NKMMK “Mystetskyi Arsenal”.<\/p>\n

The dialogue was conducted on the basis of policy document<\/a> “Vision of Ukraine 2030: social and humanitarian sphere”<\/em>, created by the Coalition “Resuscitation Package of Reforms” together with the School of Political Analytics of the National Academy of Sciences and 50 independent public experts with the support of the “Join!” Public Activity Promotion Program, which presents the vision of reforming and restoring Ukraine in the social and humanitarian sphere.<\/p>\n

The senior advocacy manager of the RPR Coalition commented on the event as follows: “Participant Culture is on time. Dialogue about culture in time. It is not time to just ignore problems in the field of national memory and cultural institutions. There is a famous quote by Voltaire: “The Holy Roman Empire was really neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.” Also, our vision document, which was the subject of discussion today at the Third Congress of Culture in Lviv, is not a complete reform plan – it is only the first step towards a dialogue between civil society and the authorities.”<\/p>\n

The head of programs of the Liberation Movement Research Center spoke about the policy of national memory and Head of the board of the NGO “DemForum” Yaryna Yasynevych<\/strong>. She is sure: “In a post-colonial and post-genocide society that lives in war, human rights principles must be clearly integrated into the policy of national memory. It is about the creation of social immunity to violations of human rights, the formation of readiness to defend both the independence of the country and the freedom of citizens.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
