Teachers and educators from Slovakia are invited to apply to the seminar “Learning from the Past - Acting for the Future”, organized by The Olga Lengyel Institute for Holocaust Studies and Human Rights in partnership with the Holocaust Documentation Center in Slovakia. This event is open to educators of all disciplines who are motivated to engage with topics related to Holocaust, human rights, and intercultural education. The seminar combines methods from Holocaust education, human rights education, and intercultural education. It aims 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.
