Photography exhibition “Chernihiv: Wartime 2022 – Russian invasion of Ukraine”

We invite you to the opening of the photography exhibition “Chernihiv: Wartime 2022 – Russian invasion of Ukraine”, which will take place on March 1 (Wednesday), at 10:00, in the Korytarz Gallery in the building of the Faculty of Archeology of the University of Warsaw at Krakowskie Przedmieście 26/28.

The authors of the photos are Valentyn Bobyr and Vladyslav Savenok

During the opening, Vladyslav Savenok (one of the authors) and Dr. Volodymyr Pylypenko from the University of Chernihiv will talk about the photographs.

– Vladislav Savenok –

“Some of these pictures have already gone around the world. They show how war destroys dreams, cities and countries that seek freedom and defend their independence”.

Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece – 4EU+ educational project and summer semester courses

We welcome you to join the summer semester courses offered by the new educational project funded by the 4EU+ Alliance, the first archaeological project integrating teachers and students from four 4EU+ Universities: Heidelberg, Charles, Copenhagen and Warsaw. The project is titled ‘Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece. Communities of Learning in the Past and in Higher Education Today’ (ACTS) and it has been designed as a new platform of innovative research-based teaching among the four partner universities: Heidelberg, Charles, Copenhagen and UW.
The recruitment slot for the course offered by the FA UW (Communities of practice: hands-on approach to skills and textile technology in Bronze Age Greece, by A. Ulanowska, hybrid on Mondays, 16.45-18.15 CET) is opened now (24/01-6/02.2022 and 14/02-20/02). The UW students need to enroll via USOS.For the offer and registration links for the courses offered by the Charles and Heidelberg Universities, please see here: https://4euplus.eu/4EU-303.html.
