International seminars
Every year, the Memorial organises training courses in Europe with the mission of making known the history of the Shoah, bringing a renewed reflection on mass crimes and state violence and sharing all the historiographical advances on these subjects.
Beyond the teaching staff, these seminars are aimed at various representatives of civil society and administrations (journalists, history teachers, civil servants, activists). The participation of experts and museum officials is also encouraged.
The continuing training of history teachers is lacking in many European education systems, most often in countries with significant memory challenges such as Greece, Estonia, Ukraine or Macedonia. The Memorial thus builds long-term partnerships in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, while developing new partnerships at the request of local authorities or non-governmental associationsgovernment on regions hitherto not very sensitive to the problems of Shoah education (Portugal).
