Memory of the Holocaust of Roma and Sinti. International program for educators and museum professionals. We have launched the recruitment process for the international program for educators and museum professionals dedicated to the memory of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust. The program is addressed to educators and museum professionals from Czech Republic, Germany and Poland.
Application deadline: May 30, 2024 Apply now
The project will run from June to October 2024 and will include two study visits, one to Brno and one to Berlin, and a series of online meetings. Working in international groups, participants will develop educational ideas related to the commemoration of the Roma and Sinti Holocaust, which they will present to a wider audience at an online event towards the completion of the program (see: the preliminary program). 2 August 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of the liquidation of the so-called “Gypsy camp” at Auschwitz-Birkenau; it is also the Roma and Sinti Holocaust Memorial Day. However, Roma Holocaust and history and culture are still not part of the mainstream historical discourse on World War II, nor is it represented enough in the media, pop culture, art and museum’s practice.
One of the important barriers in addressing this topic by cultural institutions and museums is lack of competent knowledge about the Roma and Sinti Holocaust, as well as Roma and Sinti history and culture. In response to the need to boost the competences of employees of various museums and cultural institutions, we have planned long-term educational activities consisting of on-site and online meetings addressed to educators and museum professionals from Czechia, Germany and Poland, raising this topic in the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
The program has been prepared by a cross-sector partnership of four entities representing the experience of working at a memorial, a historical museum, a contemporary art institution or a foundation operating in the field of supporting Roma communities in various areas. We hope that this interdisciplinary approach will allow participants to expand their knowledge both historically and in different areas of postwar memory and anti-discrimination education, as well as to understand contemporary processes of exclusion and discrimination.
Eligible applicants
Educators and museum professionals from the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland are invited to apply to participate in the program. The program is designed for a group of 18 people. In case there are more applicants than places, the organizers reserve the right to shortlist participants based on their applications. While the project mainly targets countries mentioned above, in exceptional cases candidates from other countries may also be considered.
