Grounded in an interdisciplinary approach, the seminar combines methods from Holocaust education, human rights education, and intercultural education with the aim to: ● Develop teachers’ critical understanding of antisemitism, the Holocaust and other instances of social injustice ● Develop teachers’ understanding of the impact of stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination at individual, group and society level; ● Develop teachers’ understanding of the Jewish life before and after the Holocaust; ● Increase appreciation for innovative, student-centered teaching methods, including extra-curricular activities and partnerships between school and other institutions and organizations; ● Promote an interdisciplinary approach to Holocaust, human rights and intercultural education; ● Develop teachers’ competences for democratic culture. Following the seminar teachers will receive support to put their learning into practice, run local projects with their students and engage in collaborative initiatives with fellow TOLI seminar participants from other countries. ● Cost: All seminar costs are covered, except for travel, which participants are expected to cover themselves. ● How to Apply: Teachers and educators from across Bulgaria can apply online.
