Description

Teachers from Albania, Kosovo*, North Macedonia and Montenegro (Albanian speaking) are invited to apply for the seminar "Learning from the Past, Acting for the Future," organized by The Olga Lengyel Institute for Holocaust Studies and Human Rights (TOLI) in partnership with the Albanian National Association of History Teachers, “Youth and History”. The seminar will take place in Tirana from June 26 to 30 and is open to educators of all disciplines who are committed to teaching about the Holocaust, human rights, and intercultural understanding in ways that resonate with students today. The pedagogical approach promoted in this seminar is interdisciplinary, rooted in the belief that the Holocaust is one of the most complex events in world history and cannot be reduced to simplistic explanations. This approach integrates Holocaust education, human rights education, and intercultural education, equipping teachers with the tools to foster critical thinking and civic engagement among their students. The seminar will strengthen participants’ ability to guide students in exploring historical narratives, drawing connections between past and present, and contributing to democratic, inclusive societies where every individual’s dignity is respected. Beyond the seminar, teachers will receive ongoing support to implement meaningful educational projects with their students, incorporating TOLI’s interdisciplinary methodology into their classrooms. With Assistance from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Finance.
