NMŠ: The Sadness and Joy of History

At the end of the summer, just before the beginning of the school year, on 27-28 August, the Milan Šimečka Foundation in Bratislava organized a teachers' conference "The Sadness and Joy of History". The conference focused on memory and research education and helped educators prepare for the new school year, especially on the topic of the Holocaust in the curriculum.

The entire conference programme took place at the Slovak National Gallery, followed by a panel discussion at the Rómer House in Bratislava. Participants had the opportunity to use videos with memories of Holocaust survivors, as well as art documenting current events in history and its moods. In addition to new knowledge and methodologies, participants took away access to all the educational materials used, which they can use in their teaching.

Dana Gabaľová, who creates educational methodology for us, and Dorota Gabaľová participated in the workshop on behalf of the Terezin Initiative Institute.
