HREC, Toronto.
On Canada Day, Saturday July 1, 2017, the Holodomor National Awareness Tour started off its summer circuit tour to South Western and Eastern Ontario.
The Tour started off in Trenton, Ontario at Centennial Park showing short documentaries about the Holodomor throughout the day beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Following a visit to Trenton, ON we will be visiting Sarnia, Chatham, Guelph, Niagara Falls, St. Catharine, Hamilton, Oshawa, Pickering, Kingston and culminating our Ontario circuit in Ottawa with a three day stop at the Capital Ukrainian Festival on July 21 – 23, 2017.
“We are delighted that Holodomor National Awareness Tour is able to continue creating awareness about through the travels of Holodomor Mobile Classroom throughout Ontario and across Canada” said Roma Dzerowicz, Executive Director.
In the summer months, the Holodomor National Awareness Tour promotes awareness of the Soviet-orchestrated genocide famine at festivals and other community events. On board the Holodomor Mobile Classroom, visitors learn about the event, denied by the Soviet Union until its demise, through short videos shown on a 24 foot video wall.
The Holodomor National Awareness Tour is a project of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, supported by the Federal and the Ontario governments, that is designed to create awareness of the Holodomor Genocide Famine through a mobile tolerance educational centre, the Holodomor Mobile Classroom.
The state-of-the-art technological interactive learning environment brings awareness and educates students on the historical events of the Holodomor Genocide of 1932-1933 and its relevance to democracy, diversity, freedom, tolerance and human rights today. It empowers students to make a change and take action against hate and intolerance. It also helps visitors understand how a lack of intercultural understanding can lead to injustices.
