Seminars
CJN seminars
behind the idea
“No one can teach a teacher better than another teacher”
This is our motto, and that is why we organize our yearly seminars for Jewish school teachers all over Europe and Israel. We bring educators together to share ideas and classroom-tested lesson plans. Once a year we meet in cities like Berlin or Istanbul, Budapest or Frankfurt, and connect with educators. On these events we listen to each other, participate on lectures from historians and community activists and visit the city to learn about its Jewish history.
These seminar are not only a chance to learn about another city’s Jewish history, but the participants also have a chance to write meaningful lesson plans and create everlasting international friendships and partnerships.
