Description

We invite teachers from Romania to participate in a series of workshops held at the Piteşti Prison Memorial. Admission is free, but reservation is required. These workshops are part of the 'Sound in the Silence' project—an intercultural remembrance initiative for secondary school students organized by the ENRS since 2011. Programme: 9 October – EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES Led by Joanna Orłoś, Head of ENRS Project Department, this session will introduce free educational materials from the Hi-Story Lessons platform, including infographics, lesson plans, and animations. Teachers will explore how to integrate these resources into their classrooms, with a focus on visual methods for addressing challenging historical topics like World War II. The workshop also covers disinformation, memory conflicts, and tools for verifying news authenticity. 10 October – RESTORATIVE DIALOGUE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION Barbara Walshe, Expert in the ENRS Project Department, will guide this interactive workshop on conflict management. Participants will learn about conflict styles, mediation, restorative justice, and the restorative circle method, applicable to student, family, and work situations. The session will encourage reflection and experiential learning, with ample time for discussion and sharing experiences. 11–12 October – METHODOLOGY OF EXPLORING THE PAST: TRANSGENERATIONAL TRAUMA, POST-TRAUMATIC AMNESIA, POSTMEMORY Led by Ioana Hașu-Georgiev, this block explores trauma passed down through generations. The first session focuses on postmemory and transgenerational trauma from events like the World Wars and Communism, using case studies and personal survivor accounts. The second session introduces interactive methods for teaching about Communism, with insights from Romania’s secret police archives. Participants will learn to approach documents as historical artifacts and use oral history techniques to uncover overlooked voices. For more information, visit our website.
