Centropa organized a teacher training seminar in Lublin from May 16-18, 2025. Together with our partners, Galicia Jewish Museum and Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre, we brought together 25 Polish educators and civil society multipliers to discuss and share best practices on teaching and commemorating 20th Century Jewish history and heritage, on Holocaust education, and on promoting tolerance and active citizenship.
The program was funded by the European Union as well as the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
During the seminar teachers were presented with Centropa's educational materials for Poland, for example the exhibition '10 Polish Cities, 10 Jewish Stories', and the biography of Anna Mass, who was born in Lublin, and they learned about the educational work of cultural institution Grodzka Gate – Theatre NN. There was also a historical lecture by a renowned expert, and guided tours through Jewish Lublin, to locations of Aktion Reinhardt, and Majdanek State Museum.
