In October, the micro-projects entered into the active stage. First of all, the participants started with searching information and collecting data. For these purposes they visited local regional archiv, library (as not all books are available online), and the museum of history of Jews in Grodno. As a result of this work a vast amount of materials has been collected.
The second stage involved editing and verifying the collected data. As a result of the work, the group developing the theme «Ghetto landmarks» prepared twelve text and audio files, as well as the necessary accompanying photo documents.
Thirdly, a meeting with the invited media expert Aliaksei Shota was organized to resolve some IT difficulties that students encountered.
In addition to that the project participants held online meetings with their fellows from Ukraine and Moldova. Mikita Tsimakou shared his reflections after one of such meeting:
«We’ve discussed some problematic issues of our work, found out what difficulties our fellows encountered. Now we know that in Moldova the authorities masked the problem of the ghetto existence in Chișinău. This problem was slurred over in historical discourse too. We were surprised a little as we never had such a problem in Grodno. There is a large number of historical sources available. Finally, we shared with each other some ideas how to construct a model of interaction model based on the historical context».
