International seminars

Every year, the Mémorial organises training sessions in Europe with the aim of making the history of the Shoah known, bringing fresh thinking to bear on mass crimes and state violence, and sharing all the historiographical advances on these subjects.

Beyond the teaching staff, these seminars are addressed to various representatives of civil society and administrations (journalists, history teachers, civil servants, activists). The participation of experts and museum managers is also encouraged.

The continuous training of history teachers is incomplete within many European educational systems, most often in countries with significant memory challenges such as Greece, Estonia, Ukraine or Macedonia. The Memorial therefore builds long-term cooperation in Eastern Europe and in the Balkans while developing new partnerships at the request of local authorities or non-governmental associations.governments on regions hitherto little sensitive to the issues of Shoah teaching (Portugal).
