Education and memory in times of global crisis II

For the second time we have organized a workshop to shed some light on recent developments in historical education worldwide. The impact of Covid-19 has been felt in cultural institutions all around the world – especially in the educational departments. Many museums and memorial sites had been closed for weeks and months – sometimes for the first time in their history. Educators working at these places had to come up with ideas on how to deal with the new situation. Often an accelerated or even completely new approach on digital or virtual resources has been the answer – many of these ideas can be found on the usual social media sites under #closedbutopen – but sometimes the forced break was also used to take a step back and develop methods and materials for the time after the shutdown. In this edition of our workshop series “Education and memory in times of a global crisis” we will take a look at current educational practices at sites and institutions that deal with violent pasts in their countries or regions. The speakers are Mofidul Hoque (Liberation War Museum, Dhaka/Bangladesh), Honore Gatera (Kigali Genocide Memorial, Kigali/Rwanda), Yaron Tzur (Ghetto Fighters' House Museum, Westgaliläa/Israel) and Virginie Genest und Marie Pellegrini (Maison d'Izieu--Mémorial des enfants juifs exterminés, Département Ain/France). They will present ideas and projects that they think might be helpful to other institutions all around the world. There is going to be space for questions as well as time to discuss the impact of these ideas in smaller groups.
