We invite primary and high school history teachers for a one-day seminar in Warsaw on 30 October. The programme includes meetings with Elżbieta Ficowska, a Holocaust survivor and Elżbieta Moczarska, chairman of the board of Kazimierz and Zofia Moczarscy Foundation. Attendance is free, but prior registration is required.
The seminar will be dedicated to different ways in which we can tackle difficult aspects of the 20th-century while teaching it to youth. Special emphasis will be given to Holocaust education. Various methods, including the use of archival materials and witness acounts, will be reviewed.
The seminar is organised in cooperation with Learning from the Righteous educational charity, as a part of a study visit of UK history teachers to Poland. We encourage Polish history teachers to take part either in the whole seminar or selected parts of the programme. The goal is to also inspire knowledge- and expiernce-sharing between Polish and UK teachers.
