What We Offer
Seminars
No one can teach a teacher better than another teacher, and that’s why we bring educators together to learn about European Jewish history, for partnerships, and share ideas and classroom-tested lesson plans.
Student Competitions
Nothing inspires students’ creativity like a competition! We work with teachers to encourage students to explore Jewish history and heritage through video, art and photography projects inspired by Centropa stories and resources.
Resources
Great teaching starts with sharing ideas, so we share lesson plans created by teachers at our seminars and webinar recordings to inspire educators and support learning in the classroom.
