the sessions
informal education, no homework!
six thoughtfully
crafted sessions
identity
Introduces the concept of self-exploration through the lens of history, how different types of identity shape an individual.
antisemitism
Tackles the history of antisemitism in the Soviet Union before and after the war.
memory & self
Encourages what we can do with our knowledge to become changemakers and use our memory for good.
power & leadership
Questions whether power is inherently good or bad, and what people with different leadership skills achieved during the war.
generation to generation
Highlights the importance of sharing customs, traditions from older generations to younger generations, whether they are familial or cultural.
tikkun olam (repair the world)
Introduces the concept of repairing the world, and how we can be truly together.
Through six interactive, 1.5-hour Zoom sessions with guest speakers including Holocaust survivors and industry leaders your child will create meaningful connections and gain critical insights into how they can make a difference today. Each session will focus on topics of historical importance such as the partisans, propaganda, and the effects of antisemitism on Jewish life. But this isn’t history class! Every history topic has a thought-provoking reference to a relevant self-development topic; identity, leadership, bravery, honesty, empathy, social justice and curiosity to name a few!
the exhibition
Participants will be given the opportunity to assist in the creation of a groundbreaking international exhibition sponsored by the British Embassy in Minsk. The exhibition will shine a light on the stories of the Holocaust in Belarus, giving the past a presence while exploring how Jews in the Diaspora came together to survive, thrive, and expand as a people.
Participants will have the opportunity to submit a piece of writing and/or a piece of art for inclusion in the exhibition. They will also have an opportunity to write articles for our media partner (The Jewish Chronicle) about what’s happening and what they’re learning.
There will be two travelling exhibitions one in Russian and one in English. The Russian exhibition will be sent to Belarus for use there. In the UK, the exhibition will be made available to schools, synagogues and community centres. In Belarus, the exhibition will travel to schools and will be used as part of the work that The Together Plan is doing in the work of building a Jewish Cultural Heritage Trail in Belarus with Jewish communities in the country.
