Education for Remembrance

Incontro seminariale nell'ambito del programma europeo "E-FoR: Education for Remembrance". RINVIATO A DATA DA DESTINARSI

The project will serve a double purpose, on one side it will foster the education of human rights and active European citizenship and, on the other side, will maintain and increase the relevance of the topic in the future in order not to forget the tragic events of the Second World War. The project aims to emphasize the importance of sites that are important for the remembrance but that are not so wellknown; the events are thought to give a wider and deeper overview into the Nazi-fascist page in European history.

 

This first meeting will see the participation of target participants (Educators, teachers, youth workers, researchers, experts etc. ) focusing on the elaboration of new strategies for remembrance education. The Seminar in Jasenovac with experts in the field of education aims to develop an ‘educational unit’ on remembrance, Europe and active citizenship, in order to develop working networks and elaborate new strategies for remembrance education.

 

The 4 Days Seminar will develop fundamental topics from a theoretical and practical point of view, allowing participants to share ideas, experiences and good practices.

 

We wish this could be an opportunity to encourage organizations active in this field to establish contacts among themselves and to learn from each other producing an educational booklet on remembrance and active European citizenship, developing thus working networks and elaborating new strategies for remembrance education.

 

ALDA will cover the accommodation of participants, while the travel costs should be covered by the partners’ organizations.

 

We kindly ask you to confirm your participation by sending the registration form not later than the 1st of February 2010 to Cinzia Spinazzè: cinzia.spinazze@aldaintranet.org
