International seminars

The Memorial organizes annual 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.

These seminars are not only aimed at the teaching staff, but also at various representatives of civil society and administrations (journalists, history teachers, civil servants, activists). 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 is therefore building 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).
