Thanks to the support of the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ) POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews will conduct 14 two-day anti-discrimination training sessions for 230 teachers and police officers from March 2016 until May 2017.

This year’s project is a continuation of the program we have successfully pursued with the General Police Headquarters, the National School of Judiciary and Public Prosecution and the Police Training Center in Legionowo.  

The training program covers issues related to national minorities, identity, prejudice and stereotypes, non-discriminatory language, and identifying and reacting to stereotypes.

The uniqueness of the program lies in the resources offered by the core exhibition and the possibility of basing exercises on examples from the rich history of Polish Jews and Polish-Jewish relations.

Each workshop is conducted by two leaders: an anti-discrimination coach and a POLIN Museum educator. Their combined knowledge and experience have allowed us to create an original, innovative and compelling anti-discrimination training formula.

The EVZ-funded project will conclude with an international seminar aimed at exchanging experience in combining historical education with the prevention of discrimination. The seminar will take place at POLIN Museum in May 2017.
