Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Museum

The role of civil society in protecting freedom

7th-12th grade

The support of the Estonian people for Ukraine has been great since the war broke out in 2022: whether it is expressed in demonstrations, donated money and things, volunteer work or in other ways. In the museum lesson, we will explore how a strong civil society is the foundation of a free state and whether and how Estonian civil society has changed while helping Ukraine. We will also discuss humanitarian aid and development cooperation in a broader sense. The lesson will focus on participatory discussions and case studies.
