'History for Ukraine' is a 24-hour speakathon from 12pm UTC Saturday 26 March until 12pm UTC Sunday 27 March where historical knowledge will be shared for free while listeners are invited to donate what they can to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
Over 40 speakers from all backgrounds and all over the world have volunteered their time and expertise to make History for Ukraine a reality. Headline speakers include Charles Spencer, Philippa Gregory, Janina Ramirez, Saul David, Nick Barratt, Suzannah Lipscomb, Kate Williams, Kate Lister, Deborah Sugg Ryan, Nathen Amin, Tracy Borman, Miranda Kaufmann and Fern Riddell.
Throughout the event there are also several talks touching upon Ukrainian history. Cat Jarman on Ukraine’s history in the Viking era, Elaine Chalus on ‘Ukraine and Canada’, and Michelle Chubenko on ‘Digital Genealogy in Ukraine’. Interspersed between all the talks will be short videos about Ukraine, its history, and people made by individuals currently living in and fighting for their homeland.
For those who may not be able to watch all the talks they want live, the website states that for a short while, replays will be available.
