This week saw the first of this year’s Scottish flights to Poland as part of the ‘Lessons from Auschwitz’ project managed by the Holocaust Education Trust. The Edinburgh flight group was joined by Schools Minister Keith Brown MSP, and is described in a Scottish Government news release. The Minister has now blogged about his experience in Poland. A flight from Glasgow for several hundred students and teachers will go to Auschwitz in October.
Learning and Teaching Scotland will be running of its free Holocaust Education workshop days for teachers on Thursday 7th October in Stirling. Participants will engage with recent new approaches and fresh thinking on Holocaust Education, and explore new resources for use in school. Contact Nick Morgan for details.
Many Scottish schools already use the book ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne, or the movie version of his story. There is an excellent Film Education online resource to help practitioners use the book to teach about the Holocaust. Now LTS has produced video from a Glow Meet videoconference session with the author, held during the recent Edinburgh International Book Festival. This video is available to Scottish teachers through a Glow intranet national group.
