Families who have fled abroad from Ukraine face numerous challenges, including the education of their school-age children. While German education policy insists on compulsory attendance at German schools, Ukrainian policy tries to bind Ukrainian students and teachers abroad to the Ukrainian school system. Families try to meet the sometimes contradictory demands of different educational practices against the backdrop of uncertain future prospects.

As of the winter semester 2022/2023, the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS), in cooperation with the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), is opening invitations to a new multidisciplinary research colloquium. The colloquium is to serve as a discussion forum for work in progress by PhD candidates, postdocs, and established researchers whose work in the social sciences focuses on Eastern Europe. With this colloquium, the aim is to establish a permanent meeting point in the Berlin-Brandenburg area for those engaged in research on Eastern Europe. The research colloquium will take place online every second Wednesday at 6pm in the months during the semester. We will send the access data shortly before the beginning of each session.

If you wish to participate, please register with Anja Krüger (events(at)zois-berlin(dot)de).
