The Open Academy of Culture is a space where, since 2014, adults have been learning to think and ask themselves difficult questions about the past, present, and future. Why did we create a project for adults if our main goal is to raise happy children? After all, happy children grow up to be happy and thinking parents! The project included regular meetings to discuss philosophical works, lectures on history and culture, and was a platform for the realization of Ukrainian experts in the humanities (philosophy, sociology, pedagogy, etc.). During the full-scale invasion, the project continued to support Ukrainians by creating a space for them to communicate about culture and history. The project ended in the summer of 2024.
