On April 20, 2016 seminar “Holocaust and Understanding the Lessons of World War II: Methodological Alternatives of Teaching” was conducted. History teachers of Mykolayiv region secondary schools became the participants of the event. “Tkuma” Institute and the Holocaust Museum Educational Department staff told teachers about museum pedagogy on the example of the Holocaust Museum and presented its educational programs.

In addition, participants of both seminars joined practical sessions where they had an opportunity to talk about their relatives during the Holocaust and World War II and create the “wall of memory” on the base on family photos, documents, etc. The session aroused great interest among the teachers, who would try to integrate such approach into the educational process.
