Since September 2022, children in Russia’s public schools are sitting through weekly classes featuring war movies. Teaching traditional patriotic values is the core of the curricula both at schools and universities. All part of the government’s plan to spread a militarized and anti-western version of patriotism to create unwavering support from Russian society and silence any critical voices.

How did we get here?
The European Wergeland Centre (EWC) invites you to join us and Norwegian and Russian experts to discuss:
- How education is used by the Kremlin regime to undermine democratic values, indoctrinate, and militarize society?
- What it’s like to teach and study in an authoritarian state, where critical voices become “traitors”?
- What can the democratic diaspora do to defend democratic values through education?
