Signing of partnership agreements with the academies of Nice and Montpellier

  • On 24 January 2017, Jacques Fredj, director of the Shoah Memorial, met with Emmanuel Ethis, rector of the Academy of Nice, to sign a partnership agreement whose objective is both to formalize the collaboration initiated for many years between the two institutions (trips of memory to Auschwitz for high school students, teacher training...) but also now to offer educational workshops outside the walls to high schools.

  • The Academy of Montpellier and the Shoah Memorial signed an agreement on February 23, 2017 in the continuity of the partnership initiated since 2013.

Armande Le Pellec Muller, rector of the academic region Occitanie, rector of the academy of Montpellier, chancellor of the Universities and Jacques Fredj, director of the Shoah Memorial, signed on Thursday, February 23, 2017 a partnership agreement aimed at promoting the deployment of educational, memorial and cultural projects for teachers and students. Students from Arthur Rimbaud middle school presented the work done around the history of the Shoah as part of a citizen reflection on the humanist values that underpin our society.

The Academy of Montpellier implements actions to raise awareness among teachers and management on issues of citizenship, secularism, and memory. In its educational missions, it must find answers adapted to the question of the success of all students, and especially those for whom public education represents the privileged means of access to the culture of our society.

The Academy of Montpellier also ensures to give to the teachers and the various actors responsible for the training the most relevant means to allow the teaching of the history of the Holocaust and contemporary genocides, in order to ensure the proper place that the memory and history of these events should take in teaching programs.

The agreement signed on February 23 aims to establish a framework for collaboration between the Academy of Montpellier and the Shoah Memorial.
