On December 3-5, online meetings of the participants of the team "Mist - Stop the instrumentalization of history" of the project "Study and distinguish: information literacy" with the project expert - Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Leading Research Fellow of the Institute of History of Ukraine NASU Styazhkina Olena Viktorivna. The topic of the meetings was "Methodological and methodological bases of historical source analysis". The meeting was attended by graduates of bachelor's and master's degrees. During the three days there were discussions, tasks were set, plans were determined in the study of topical issues of modern domestic historical science.
On December 23, a photo exhibition "Ukraine Known and Unknown" opened in the educational building of the institute. The exhibition is one of the results of the scientific theme of the Department of Domestic and Foreign History "Historical and cultural monuments of the Ukrainian province." The subject of the study were historical and cultural monuments of national importance of all 24 regions and one autonomous republic of Ukraine. The first expedition was carried out in 2008 to Kirovohrad region, and the last - to Kyiv in 2019. Thus, we managed to recreate the general state of historical and cultural monuments of all regions of Ukraine.
The main purpose of the study and this exhibition is to show the beauty of our land, the richness of its cultural and natural heritage, to draw attention to the problem of preserving this wealth. Some of the photos are already of historical significance, because some of them can no longer be restored, and others were destroyed during the fighting in the east. Initially, the authors planned to present only historical and cultural monuments, but also added natural monuments, which are so rich in our magical country.
The urgency of the theme and the exhibition itself is greatly enhanced in the context of the State Strategy for Regional Development for 2021-2027, which was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (№ 695 of 05.08.2020) and one of the areas of the Strategy is protection of cultural heritage.
The preparation of the exhibition materials demonstrated another important aspect - the formation of visual literacy, because the ability to analyze photos is one of the competencies that develops the project "Study and distinguish: information - media literacy", which the institute has participated since 2019.
"There were thoughts about the name of the exhibition," said Viktor Mykolayovych, "but we stopped at this: 'Ukraine is known and unknown,' because there are so many other breathtaking places that can evoke the strongest emotions and feelings." We really wanted to share these emotions and our pain for the future of this beauty. "
On December 29, 2020, according to the work plan, an online meeting was held with teachers and lecturers of educational institutions on the topic "History as an object of hybrid threat".

Brovender. The participants of the meeting showed their skills to search and work with sources and primary sources, to argue their own opinion on the findings of the expedition.
Archaeological expedition is not only scientific and educational research, it is also an invaluable experience of communication, exchange of information, formation of skills to lead a discussion and more. A kind of "diary" of the expedition provided an opportunity to see this and relive the moments of discovery, inspiration and mad fatigue. First-year students of groups 101a and 102a, who study the discipline "Archeology", were invited to the meeting, and in the summer of 2022 they will have the opportunity to consolidate their theoretical knowledge in an expedition to Lake Usovo in Lyman district of Donetsk region. This is where our archaeologists are planning a new joint expedition.
Both the expedition itself and the presentation of its results are a real manifestation of students' acquisition of new skills in working with material historical sources, skills of their careful research and critical thinking.
