Description

Why is remembrance important? Why do we continue to discuss the legacies of the Nazi regime and their collaborators across Europe today? How can we equip young people to critically engage with the history of the Holocaust and combat misinformation about the Second World War and its legacy? In partnership with Terraforming, Intercultural Institute Timișoara, and the Arolsen Archives, EuroClio – European Association of History Educators is embarking the project, Facts Not Fiction – Young Historians Show How to Learn from the Past, which aims to empower history educators, museum educators, and other professionals and institutions in the field of memorialization, to train students and youth groups to research local histories of persecution during the Nazi era, and develop their own graphic novels, podcasts, or guided tours based on these findings. Alongside museum educators, Facts Not Fiction have hosted training events for archivists, teachers and tour guides in addition to conducting workshops with students. Young people in several European countries will then have the chance to research specific local histories related to the Second World War and create their own end-products which may be a graphic novel, podcast, heritage tour or exhibition. Museum Educators and other professionals will have the chance to give feedback and guidance to students throughout the project and assist in students’ local exhibitions of their chosen microhistories. Who are we looking for? For this particular event, we are looking for museum educators and other professionals interested in the Second World War and its incorporation into museum and gallery exhibitions. Those interested in the history of totalitarianism, the Holocaust memorial, and mid-20th century histories of migration and persecution should apply.
