New educational offer 2019-2020
As part of the new high school programs (Second and First), the Shoah Memorial offers a new educational offer. Thus, workshops on the deconstruction of prejudices, the fight against forms of racism and anti-Semitism or issues of the information society respond to these concerns. They were developed taking into account the moral and civic education programs. Moreover, the genocides of the Armenians, the Jews and the Tutsis are approached in a comparative perspective: the workshops "BD pour mémoire" or "Justice face aux génocides" are part of this perspective. Thanks to the dedicated signage, the pages of this brochure will allow you to easily identify all these activities.
The theme of the 2019-2020 National Resistance and Deportation Competition titled 1940: Enter the Resistance. Understanding, refusing to resist, will be widely addressed this year by our teams. The workshops "The 'Undesirables' in 1939-1940 France", "Women in resistance: the first committed" and "In the name of freedom: volunteer itineraries" largely contribute to the preparation of students. A series of screenings-meetings, testimonies-videos, thematic visits will complete the device dedicated to the competition. Finally, the early engagement of these men and women in the Resistance will be the subject of a new traveling exhibition available from September, training sessions for teachers, and a mini-website.
On the occasion of the Day for the Remembrance of Genocides and the Prevention of Crimes against Humanity, and the 75th anniversary of the discovery of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, the Memorial will propose a certain number of activities for students: screenings-meetings, exhibitions, testimonies, assizes, ceremony ...
The Memorial offers schools a number of educational workshops, easily achievable on site, and intended for primary school students as well as middle and high school students. Beyond the already existing agreements with the academies of Dijon, Toulouse, Strasbourg, or Poitiers, these activities outside the walls will extend in 2019-2020 to other academies, under the aegis of the rectorates.
The southern branch of the Memorial, based in Toulouse, relays the actions of the Shoah Memorial to the general public and develops various activities for school students: educational workshops, screenings, historical tours, rental of traveling exhibitions,meetings with witnesses and historians. A summer university is offered each year in July as well as training sessions for teachers to update knowledge on the genocides of the 20th century, by offering educational tracks.
Working for the transmission and knowledge of the history of the Shoah, the Mémorial de la Shoah works in close collaboration with many partners: the Ministry of National Education, the academies, the Daac of Paris, or other institutions and museums of history... Agreements with local authorities also support this action. Thus, the Shoah Memorial is linked to the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis, to the city hall of Paris or even to the region Île-de-France by framework agreements setting up free certain activities intended for students and teachers in their territory.
For the 2019-2020 academic year, two new partnerships have been signed with the departmental councils of Seine-et-Marne (77) and Hauts-de-Seine (92). These agreements will facilitate work with the institutions, in particular the travel and visits of middle school students to Paris and Drancy.
