Teachers and educators

ICEAH addresses its educational activities to teachers and educators, among others by providing numerous publications and educational materials to help deepen knowledge on the subject of Auschwitz and the Holocaust, as well as organizing numerous conferences and thematic sessions

We also help organize the stay for students in the Auschwitz Memorial Site, offering one-and two-day study visits at the Memorial Site, which includes tour and selected educational activities, such as workshops, multimedia presentations and video lectures. In addition, we support teachers in the proper preparation of young people for visit, subject to which it is worth taking advantage of the offers - preparatory lessons for a visit to the Museum. Teachers and educators also have at their disposal extensive information on the preparation, implementation and summaries of the visits, taking into account our proposed methodological studies.

There is also the possibility of support teachers and educators by making our mobile exhibitions available. They can be presented in schools and other institutions.

The Auschwitz Museum is also a place that gives teachers and their students the opportunity to engage in Voluntary activities, through which they can gain experience in the preparation and implementation of various projects, including those of an educational nature.
