Holocaust and Citizenship Education Forum
International Conference
The Association initiated an international conference on holocaust and citizenship education, which took place in 2001 February 18-21 in Budapest in co-operation with the Goethe Institute. The key question of the conference was in which way teachers can promote the deeper understanding of the consequences of racism, prejudice, anti-Semitism and totalitarianism and improve participation in democracy. The school year 2001 was the first one, when the Holocaust was remembered in Hungarian schools, and the purpose of the Forum was to help teachers in the preparation for the first Holocaust Remembrance Day as well. More than seventy teachers participated at the conference and several reports were published on it in Hungarian and German newspapers and on Hungarian television.
The Forum was supported by the Hungarian Ministry of Education, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, the Austrian Cultural Institute, the Canadian Embassy, the Royal Netherlands Embassy, the Israeli Embassy and the Hungarian Soros Foundation.
