Youth Workshop Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to The Hague

How to best serve justice when crimes are committed by those in power and national justice systems do not deliver? For four days, young people from across the world come together in The Netherlands, to find out during the workshop “Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to the Hague”.

In 2023, EuroClio will again collaborate with Barry van Driel and Carolyn McNanie to organise a four-day youth workshop and seminar in The Hague. The next workshop will take place from 19-22 September 2023.

The programme includes active methods such as research, discussion, group work, presentations, debates, simulations, onsite learning, and interactions with experts and eyewitnesses or victims. It culminates with a visit to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and attendance at a current international criminal trial.

The participants are challenged to identify examples of past injustices and critically assess how these were dealt or not dealt with. They will learn about various aspects of international justice, especially related to genocide and crimes against humanity, and the formal institutes that were established directly after the Second World War as well as into the 21st century.

The workshop is intended for higher secondary school at least 16 years of age (required to attend the programme at the ICC). Participants should apply in a group of 3 – 10 participants per high school. All participants must have a good knowledge of English. Participants do not need to have any prior knowledge to participate in this programme.

The registration is a 2-step process, Form 1 expressing interest first and then Form 2 registration with payment.  Included below is Form 1. Please fill it out and return it to Carolyn McNanie, carolynjmm@gmail.com who will get back to you.
