What is the connection between civic identity and responsibility? Why is it important for us to rethink our history and our past? What can we learn from the example of Ukrainian dissidents? How can Ukrainians get rid of imposed stereotypes, build trust in each other, and decolonize themselves?

Answers to these and other important questions about Ukrainian identity, decolonization, and the impact of the dissident movement are in a series of short videos by Dariia Hirna, a journalist, TV presenter, author of documentaries, and the Faces of Independence YouTube channel.

The project “In Search of Identity” was created by the educational organization “Cultural Project”. It helps Ukrainians reboot their knowledge of Ukrainian history and culture, find out the reasons for the events that are taking place today, and find answers to questions about the roots of their own identity.
