“Auschwitz - Never Again! – Really?” is the title of the International Educational Conference which will take place from 1-4 July 2019 at the Auschwitz Memorial. Its lectures and discussions will concern education in the context of preventing genocide and crimes against humanity. Prof. Piotr Gliński, the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland, assumes honorary patronage of the event.
Our call for papers refers to participation in the open panel on 2 July, from 15:00 to 17:00, entitled "History is Repeating: From the Past to the Present, from the Present to the Past".
The panel will address several questions:
Why do we forget?
Why do conflicts occur?
Do we need to experience war to feel concerned?
How does geography influence the way we look at other conflicts?
How can we act? How can we teach?
Papers can be very specific - on one conflict, for example - or more general. Each presentation should last 20 minutes and the languages of the conference are English and Polish.
To apply, please fill in the Google form before 31 March 2019. Successful applicants will be notified by 5 April 2019. The Museum will cover the costs of accommodation (single room) and board, as well as travel expenses.
