Behind the historical events and tragedies of the 20th century, behind the numbers and statistics, lie individual lives and personal stories. By exploring individual life stories, we can gain a deeper and more personal understanding of the history that connects us all.
During the Centropa Foundation’s professional development training for teachers, we provide educational resources, methods, and professional support for teaching Jewish history and the Holocaust, as well as for developing projects that actively engage students in the learning process. We welcome applications from primary and secondary school teachers.
During the seminar, we will:
- explore Budapest’s Jewish heritage, past and present;
- take part in a Kabbalat Shabbat service and introduce participants to related Jewish traditions;
- present personal stories and family photographs from the Centropa archive, together with educational resources and methods for using them in the classroom;
- work together to develop new educational materials;
- introduce Centropa’s travelling exhibitions and educational programs for students, including peer guide trainings, workshops, and a guided city walk.
