Online educational conferences

The Hauts-de-Seine Department and the Shoah Memorial offer two webinars to educational support professionals. After the tragic events that have occurred in recent weeks, these webinars have a particular resonance today, and demonstrate the commitment of the community on the promotion, especially towards young people, of civic values. 

Two pedagogical conferences:

Thursday 19 November 2020 – 10:00-11:30

Sport, a mirror of societies? A history that is resistant to discrimination.

By Sophie Gagnard, mediator and Hubert Strouk, associate professor of history, deputy head of the educational service at the Shoah Memorial.

Competition and sport were regularly instrumentalized by political regimes, sparking resistance from civil societies. The intervention gives a large place to the destinies of athletes, their commitments to fight against all forms of discrimination and the media coverage of their fights.

This conference will be introduced by Jacques Fredj, Director of the Mémorial de la Shoah and Nathalie Léandri, Vice-President of the Hauts-de-Seine Department in charge of school affairs and construction.

Friday, November 27 – 10-11:30 AM 

Why talk about genocides?

By Iannis Roder, associate professor of history, trainer at the Shoah Memorial. 

Studying genocides and mass crimes allows one to reflect on the processes that lead to these political extremes. In fact, these acts must be apprehended as political events, which allows us to question what makes them possible but also about the passages to act: how does one come to assassinate tens of thousands of people in cold blood? How does one become, as an individual, a mass killer? Are we all likely to participate, in particular contexts, in this type of event? Is our society safe from this kind of historical episodes? 

In May 2019, the Department of Hauts-de-Seine signed an agreement with the Shoah Memorial, aiming to deploy, particularly towards middle school students and educational teams, actions that would combat all forms of discrimination and meet the requirement of memory work.
