SUMMARY OF SEMINAR ATTENDED BY THE PARTNERS FROM THESSALONIKI LYCEUM 28º

28th Senior High School of Thessaloniki, Greece

Summary on the seminars

Motivated by the topic  of our project, teachers of our school attended two seminars  about  teaching Holocaust in Greece.

The first one (11-12 December) was organized by the Jewish Museum of Greece and the Jewish Museum of Thessaloniki, while the second one (19-21 December) was held by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The aim of both seminars was to propose effective methods of communicating such a difficult  subject as  Holocaust. Apart from an overview of the history of Jewish presence in Thessaloniki and their annihilation during the WWII, the seminar speakers focused on the education methodology: According to this methodology the teacher should not only trigger deep emotional reactions and empathy of the students but also try to develop political awareness. The ultimate educational goal should be to form active and responsible citizens, able to recognize and resist to totalitarian ideologies with the hope that such  a dark age of human history will never be repeated.

During the two seminars various educational tools were proposed, covering a large range of mediums: films, (documentaries and movies) testimony videos, photographs, products of art such as paintings, songs, works of literature etc. Teachers should make a careful choice according to the age of their pupils and their specific aim, keeping in mind that much of what occurred during the Holocaust seems too horrible to imagine.

Taking into account that Holocaust education does not consist part of Greek curriculum and there are only short references in History text books, these seminars were valuable for us  in order to integrate suitable activities to the  Erasmus project. Two teachers (Zaharias Spanos and Theodora Glaraki) participated to the first seminar and 5 teachers  (Anna Doiranli,, Despina Demiri, Lia Lefaki, Magda Mintsiori and Theodora Glaraki)to the second one.

European Christmas Eve at Gimnazjum nr 9 im. Jana Pawła II in Sosnowiec

We believe that Erasmus programme is also for sharing cultures. Therefore, a special ceremony was held before Christmas holidays at Gimnazjum nr 9 im. Jana Pawła II in Sosnowiec. Traditionally students organize Christmas meetings with tutors and exchange Christmas greetings. This year, 

in order to acquaint students with Christmas and New Year traditions of our partners, students prepared  a European Christmas Eve, where traditions of all participating countries were presented.

We learned about Christmas dishes, listened to carols and tasted some of traditional sweets. 

Write for Rights global letter writing marathon

On 11^th  December students from partners participated in the Write for Rights Amnesty’s annual global letter writing marathon for people whose basic human rights are under attack. Every December, Amnesty International supporters write millions of messages to change lives worldwide, to help release prisoners of conscience, bring torturers to justice and change laws to protect people's freedom.
