Terraforming and The Olga Lengyel Institute (TOLI) are organizing the second annual seminar for teachers from the Republic of Serbia from 21-25 August in Novi Sad entitled “The Holocaust and Human Rights: Learning from the past – acting for the future.”
More than 35 teachers from all over Serbia will have a unique opportunity to listen to lectures by national and international experts on topics such as the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Recommendations on Teaching and Learning about the Holocaust, Holocaust distortion, and contemporary antisemitism. Participants will hear from a broad range of experts including a number of IHRA delegates. Speakers include, among others, Ruth-Anne Lenga, Dr. Werner Dreier, Dr. Calin Rus, Dr. Milan Koljanin, Dr. Milovan Pisarri, Miško Stanišić, and Nevena Bajalica.
The launch event of the seminar took place on 21 August with a reception held at the Archives of Vojvodina in Novi Sad for the seminar participants and other guests including the local Jewish community.

A conscientious education of the truth is one of the most effective ways of countering Holocaust distortion. Teachers are central to this effort.
The project aims to develop recommendations for teacher training colleges and universities in Austria, Bavaria, and Switzerland so that they can better support teachers in confronting Holocaust distortion and antisemitism.
A new training for teachers and policymakers on countering Holocaust distortion and combating antisemitism was implemented for the first time this week in Zagreb.
