Centropa Town Hall Meeting

  • On the 15th of May 2015, Centropa Hungary organized for the third time its annual Town Hall Meeting. During this event we awarded those teachers and their students who participated in our programs, and used our family stories and educational materials. Besides announcing the winners of our video making competiton "Our Town's Jewish History" we also awarded the best lesson plans created by teachers, and also students who were tour guides of our traveling exhibition, or who accomplished other creative projects.

Second place went to students of the Radnóti school in Szeged, and the third place was given to the students of Széchenyi school in Pécs. Centropa's traveling exhibition has been to four various cities in Hungary, and there were 7 prizes given to teachers for best lesson plans.
