Between the 14th and 16th of March we held our third annual winter seminar for teachers in European Jewish schools. We had 35 teachers and educators coming from 17 various countries in Europe. During these two intensive days the participants worked together on cross-border projects, exchanged ideas and best practices, created lesson plans based on Centropa films and other materials, and also brainstormed on how to strengthen European Jewish identity by connceting Jewish students with each other.

Between the 16-18 of January we held a seminar in Vilnius for 30 Lithuanian teachers who are new to Centropa.

During the seminar we showed our database of Jewish family stories and photos, introduced them to Centropa educational materials. The participating teachers shared ideas,best practices,and developed lesson plans on how to teach the Holocaust and 20th century Jewish history. They also worked on our Lithuanian traveling exhibition that includes stories and photos from Lithuania.
