The project One Day is one of the initiatives from the Museum of Civilian Voices spearheaded by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation. Its aim is to keep accounts of Ukrainians, as eye witnesses, about the Day when the war began for them in order to rethink the importance of peace.
One Day is a project about how important it is to remember the past for a better future.
The creative essay competition aims to emphasize the importance and significance of peace as the main value of society. It is held to mark the International Day of Peace that is celebrated annually on 21 September.
In 2021, for the first time, the creative essay competition is held among schoolchildren and students of educational institutions from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kharkiv regions.
The topic of the essay competition is as follows:
The day when the war began for you
Each of us has their own day when the war began for them personally. When and where did you realize that the war began? What did this day mean for you and your family?
