On December 3, 2018 Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Global International Pedagogical Forum Evgeny Baranovsky had a meeting with Alexey Seriy, Director of the memorial complex "Katyn" - international memorial to victims of political repression. The main topic of the meeting was to discuss the possibility of informing school teachers about the historical tragedy of the Polish people directly from researchers and historians, because only the historical truth, whatever it may be, will help future generations not to make crucial mistakes. To this end, Evgeny Baranovsky and Alexey Seriy agreed to hold a round-table conference on January 20, 2019 at the memorial complex for teachers of history of the Russian Federation "Learning from the past, we are building a decent future. On the example of the Katyn tragedy".
