The Estonian Institute of Historical Memory invites history teachers, educators, youth workers and graduated students to participate in a Summer School about the history of crimes against humanity and human rights violations during and after the Second World War, which we will introduce from the perspective of Estonia’s experience.
We will also focus on the topic of the Ukraine war, the mentality of totalitarian regimes and the patterns they tend to repeat.
Together, we will visit memorial sites and museums, listen to interesting lectures in a relaxed atmosphere, watch films on the topic, run workshops and discuss the importance of learning and teaching history. We will also exchange experiences and ideas of how to study and teach sensitive historical topics in an environment, where ideological values may clash.
Participation in the Summer School is free of charge. The organisers will cover all expenses in Estonia (accommodation, food, and transportation within the programme). The participants will cover their own travel expenses* to and from Tallinn.
The Summer School will be held in English from July 24–29, 2022.
There are only a limited number of Summer School places available.
The application deadline is June 7, 2022.
The participants will be announced on June 10th.
