NOLIKUMS

Lai pievērstu sabiedrības uzmanību Latvijas vēsturei, 1941. gada 14. jūnija un 1949. gada 25. marta vardarbīgajām un nelikumīgajām piespiedu izsūtīšanām uz Sibīriju.

Konkursa izsludināšanas kārtība

Konkursu izsludina, nosūtot nolikumu uz Latvijas vispārizglītojošo, mākslas un diasporas skolu e-pastiem.

Konkursa tēma

Konkursa kopējā tēma ir Latvijas vēsture – 1941. un 1949. gada deportācijas.

Konkursa mērķi

Neļaut aizmirst Latvijas vēsturē svarīgus un traģiskus notikumus.
Bērnos un jauniešos veicināt un uzturēt interesi par Latvijas un tās tautu vēsturi komunistiskā padomju režīma okupācijas laikā, pievērst uzmanību Latvijas iedzīvotāju likteņiem Sibīrijas izsūtījumā. Ļaut bērniem iedziļināties vēstures likumsakarībās un mudināt būt aktīvai sabiedrības daļai. Attīstīt un novērtēt audzēkņu prasmes.

Krievijas iebrukums Ukrainā 2022. gada 24. februārī un melos pamatotā kara darbība skaudri liek apjaust, ka ir neapšaubāmi svarīgi zināt un izprast savas valsts vēsturi, lai mums blakus augtu un dzīvotu domājoši un patstāvīgi jaunieši. Zināt savas ģimenes un valsts vēsturi, nozīmē spēt redzēt likumsakarības, spēt nepakļauties maldīgai informācijai un būt lepnam par savu valsti un tās brīvību.

Mothers of Siberia

On October 30, 2025, as part of the release of the book “Mothers in Siberia”, the “Children of Siberia” Foundation is organizing an international conference on the role of women in the deportations of 1941 and 1949. The event will take place in Riga, at the European Union House. The book launch will begin at 2:00 PM.
Participants will include the protagonists of the book, delegations of former deportees from all three Baltic States, representatives of the Museums of Occupations of Lithuania and Estonia – Milda Jarušaitienė and Maja Soomägi, Member of the European Parliament Sandra Kalniete, and historians from Latvia.

In the early 2000s, while creating the film “Children of Siberia”, we interviewed people who, as children, had been deported to Siberia in 1941. During this process and later, while conducting expeditions to former deportation sites in Siberia, we also met and interviewed the mothers of those deported children.

The book “Mothers in Siberia” brings together fragments from these interviews with the mothers and their children, who were deported on June 14, 1941. This book is about their memories and stories. It is a timeless tribute to Latvian Mothers.

Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
