As part of the STAND UP project (Standing up for Remembrance: Testimonies from the Past as Lessons for the Present – Holocaust and Human Rights Education through Oral History), 25 teachers from Germany, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Hungary will come together in Berlin for a multi-day seminar.
The event aims to strengthen educators’ competences in Holocaust education by providing them with access to personal testimonies and innovative teaching tools. Through workshops, discussions, and peer learning, participants will explore strategies to counter Holocaust denial and distortion - phenomena that are increasingly spreading through digital media.
Beyond historical learning, the seminar also focuses on fostering empathy, constructive dialogue, and depolarisation skills, empowering teachers and their students to address antisemitism, racism, and intolerance in today’s society.
This project is curated our Croatian partner, HERMES, and underwritten by the European Union.
