About the course

The Karaganda Regional Ecological Museum (EcoMuseum) is an independent environmental organization with vast experience in educational and research work. One of the EcoMuseum's priorities is preserving historical memory and rethinking the consequences of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.

As part of our partnership with Alternativa Film Days the EcoMuseum has developed the first four modules of an online educational course about the Semipalatinsk test site. They are now available to a wide audience. Addressing the lack of educational programs on the tragic events of Kazakhstan's recent history, the course offers a common science perspective on topics such as technological progress, the history and legacy of nuclear testing, ecology, and sustainable development.

We are planning to expand the course , adding new modules and interactive materials to further explore important aspects of the topic and engage more participants in the discussion
