HISTORY AND CITIZENSHIP
Prejudices in everyday life and in history
From the 4th
How are prejudices formed? How can they sometimes lead to institutionalized racism or genocide? Students address these questions
by analyzing the prejudices conveyed by language or propaganda images. They also try to put into perspective the role of certain racist prejudices in the history of the 20th century.
Disciplines/Courses
From the 3rd
For students from 3rd to 12th grade
Used by the Nazi power as a real tool of propaganda, competition is put to contribution to make the 1936 Olympics the symbol of the greatness of the III Reich. Sport was thus regularly instrumentalized by political regimes, provoking resistance from civil societies. This workshop gives a large place to the destinies of athletes, their commitments to fight against all forms of discrimination and the media coverage of their struggles.
Disciplines/courses
From the 4th
At a time when traditional media are being questioned and social networks occupy a considerable place in the daily life of students, to disentangle the true from the false becomes more and more difficult and yet indispensable. Through the study of different media (texts, photographs, videos), students learn to further stimulate their critical thinking, identify sources of information and verify them. This workshop aims at the appropriation of tools and reflexes in order to better cope with a continuous flow of information.
Disciplines/courses
The imaginary Jew: a history of anti-Jewish myths
From the 3rd
Although the term "antisemitism" was invented at the end of the 19th century, hatred against Jews is based on several centuries-old myths reactivated in times of crisis. From the Middle Ages to the present day, students analyze, using documents of various kinds, the construction of antisemitic discourses and imagery over a long period, between permanences and mutations. Far from the imaginary Jew, reflection opens, through constant exchanges and dedicated activities, on a discovery of the diversity of Jewish worlds.
Disciplines/courses
GENOCIDES OF THE 20th CENTURY
From the 3rd
Through the discovery of comics, this workshop proposes to study the genocides of Armenians, Jews and Tutsis. Students are invited to reflect and compare several albums, including Mémé d'Arménie, Maus and La Fantaisie des Dieux. Through an original narrative and a particular graphic design, they address the representation of the genocidal process and the questions raised by the transmission of memory.
From the 3rd
The photographs taken by the Allies during the discovery of the concentration camps largely contributed to creating a false representation of the Holocaust. But the analysis of the pictures taken by the SS at Auschwitz in 1944 allows us to grasp, provided we question them, the history and representations of this place that has become central to the history of the genocide of the Jews.
During the workshop, students will work on various visual and textual archives, reflect on their relationship with images, and exercise critical thinking skills.
Disciplines/courses
For students in Terminale
Since 1945, the judiciary has been trying to answer questions raised by crimes of genocide: who are they and who is responsible for them? How to punish those
who participated in these crimes? This workshop aims to initiate a reflection on the relationship between societies facing genocides and the ability of survivors to come back to life.
Disciplines/courses
From the 3rd
This workshop aims to better understand the reasons for the internment of Gypsies in France and their killing in Nazi Europe through different paths and individual destinies. It contributes to a better knowledge of Gypsy cultures and the deconstruction of prejudices still present today.
Disciplines/courses
Fates in times of war
From the 3rd – From January 2025
Collecting documents, making a fake identity card, transmitting valuable information or taking up arms attests to the diversity of acts of resistance during the war. Through the study of archives and individual testimonies, students highlight the different forms of engagement of these Jewish women and men in the face of the Holocaust.
Disciplines/courses
From the 3rd
Liaison officer, summoner of escapees or Jewish children, doctor... women played an essential role in the Resistance. Yet, in memory and history, their actions were long neglected, as the image of the resistant-combatant was first imposed. By focusing on describing the itineraries and actions of five figures of resistance fighters, students are also introduced to historical research, by reconstructing the journeys of heroic women, committed in one way or another from 1940-1941.
Disciplines/courses
From the 3rd
Awarded to any non-Jewish person who helped Jews during the Holocaust, this honorary title has been bestowed to date to nearly 27,921 people. From near
50 countries, all of them have decided to oppose, at the risk of their lives and without compensation, hatred and dehumanization. This workshop proposes to discover several journeys of the Just in Europe, focusing on the motivations and forms of rescue, whose recognition was sometimes late as a collective memory. By taking all the risks to come to the aid of persecuted Jews, these men and women embody the fundamental values of justice, dignity and humanity.
