Teacher Workshop Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to The Hague

November 5, 2023 @ 9:30 am - November 6, 2023 @ 5:00 am

Our current world is a very complicated one. Young people are particularly attuned to issues of justice and injustice, whether in their personal lives or in the world around them. This past year, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent reports of gross violations of human rights, the question becomes what can be done to bring the perpetrators to justice and what does ‘justice’ look like? Such events are also challenging for teachers who want to address these topics in their classrooms.

Programme

The International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) and EuroClio invite present and future teachers of secondary students to a special 2-day workshop in The Hague. During the workshop teachers will reflect and discuss how to address issues of international justice with their students.

The programme for the teacher workshop will follow, on an abbreviated scale, the youth programme also being offered. We will deal with how best to teach about topics such as definitions of justice and injustice, the Nuremberg trials for history and context, and the subsequent development of the International Criminal Court (ICC). We will discuss and develop outlines for other possible school-based activities, and encourage sharing of ideas and experiences the participant educators have had when covering issues of international justice in their teachings.

The programme will also include a visit to the ICC and attendance at a current trial. Before the visit we will provide background to the accused and the crimes under discussion.

A 2-day teacher training workshops will be held in 2023 in The Hague:

JustNow

The “Seeking Justice” teacher seminar is implemented within the EU-funded project ‘JustNow – Toolbox for Teaching Human Rights.” The JustNow learning platform (www.teachjustnow.eu) is designed to support teachers, youth workers and young peer educators to actively create and use learning approaches for human rights education, which are part of the Model International Criminal Court Program (www.model-icc.org). In order to make the abstract subject of human rights accessible to young people, the learning platform offers different materials for different types of learners. The platform offers activity plans, exercises and timelines, as well as audiovisual content such as short animation movies which will help young people learn about human rights, diversity, basic democratic values and the rule of law independently or with the help of an educator. With the innovative approach of small-scale learning modules, this toolbox allows everyone to implement needs-tailored, innovative and engaging educational workshops. The JustNow project is a strategic partnership between partner organisations from Germany (Kreisau-Initiative e. V.), the Netherlands (IAIE), Poland (Krzyzowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe) and Croatia (HERMES).

EuroClio is also offering a 4-day workshop and seminar for young people 16+ taking place in the Hague. Find more information here.
