Divided into 12 lectures, the course “explores the socio-political events and processes that have shaped Ukrainian civil society. It will be beneficial for anyone interested in understanding the history of our society’s development,” the nonprofit foundation said.

Specific topics include the avant-garde movements in Ukrainian civil society, revolutionary movements, the role of journalism, multiculturalism, and societal cohesion. 

It places particular emphasis on the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, civil society in Crimea and eastern Ukraine, as well as anti-colonial movements and emerging institutions.
