Do you remember how last year the main theme of the Travelling Docudays UA festival was the question of historical memory? We opened our own festival programme then with a special event at the Volodymyr Hnatiuk Ternopil National Pedagogical University: the presentation of “The Pastoral Mission of the Kovch Family in the Ternopil Region”.
Docudays UA travels continued on 20 and 21 October in Ternopil. On the first day, the festival was hosted by the Volodymyr Hnatiuk Ternopil National Pedagogical University. The audience of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology welcomed us. And, it is pleasing that, despite the declared air raid alert, they returned to continue the meeting.
