The Shoah Memorial organizes training seminars in partnership with France’s Ministry of Education, teacher training schools (IUFM) and other training bodies. They focus on the issues of teaching and transmission: what pedagogical methods should be used in middle or high schools for such topics? Since 2005, training seminars have been developed in partnership with the Boards of Education of France’s various departments.

The Memorial can develop and adapt training courses to different professions. For example, it has created many courses for new police recruits, police chiefs, Ministry of Defense employees, etc. The sessions include talks with Holocaust survivors, meetings with historians and tours of the Mémorial.
Throughout the school year, the Shoah Memorial offers teachers and students extramural activities, including film screenings, training days, traveling exhibitions and educational workshops. The goal is to allow teachers to take advantage of the Shoah Memorial’s pedagogical activities everywhere in France.
Each year, the Memorial also organizes training courses in Europe aiming to have the history of the Holocaust recognized, shed new light on mass crimes and State violence and share historiographical advances on these topics.
