Participate in the upcoming study trips to Auschwitz-Birkenau pedagogy

For more than 20 years, the Shoah Memorial has organized annual study trips to the site of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, supervised by survivors and historians accompanying them.

Intended for students in general, vocational and agricultural education, these study trips are part of a true educational approach, often multidisciplinary, based on a thorough and personalized preparation, on the provision of adapted and exclusive educational tools, on qualified supervision and rigorous monitoring after the stay.

Selected according to their motivation, students are necessarily engaged in educational projects that mobilize them throughout the school year. Before the study trip, these projects lead the classes to start a documentary research and to strengthen their knowledge, a fundamental step before the visit to Auschwitz. After the study trip, the students and their teachers engage in a work of reflection and restitution, both from the point of view of their emotions and acquired notions.

Study trips are a pedagogical tool for teaching the history of the Shoah, complementary to other actions undertaken in schools. They also represent for all the participants an exceptional human and intellectual experience, whose stakes go beyond the field of history to reach civic and citizen training.
