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”.

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 program 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.

We are now in the process of fixing our workshop dates for the 2024-25 school year. At this point we are open to suggestions from interested schools and we will try to meet date requirements as best we can. Please let us know as soon as possible when would be most convenient for your school by filling out the interest form on the right and sending it to secretariat@euroclio.eu.
