The intention was that the student actors of their
own learning could, among other things, watch
videos about witnesses of history and generous
people who "used the heart", to know and after to
write about different topics such as: Women, Shoah
and Denialism.
The Manifesto/Decalogue "No to violence and
discrimination" is the result of the reflections done
in the forum.
In addition, thanks to Music and Art, new emotions
have been experienced. Students after having
researched music and Shoah they collaboratively
created a melody with stringed instruments: the
violin and the guitar and as far as Art is concerned,
they have been able to know the conception of
degenerate Art in "The paintings and racism".
Also laughter helps and that is why we have faced
the topic of "Yiddish humour." Humour is the
language of the soul and as the Jewish tradition
says "laughter is a way of affirming the love of life",
that is why students reading jokes they have
understood the importance of irony, as the Jewish
people know how to laugh at itself as an affirmation
of hope and life.
Another step was to find "tools" that will help to
build a better future.
And finally the students created collaborative
Mandalas of peace and a golem that speaks and say
the tools that they decide will help to create a
bright future.
I think that the virtual visit to the Jerusalem Yad
Vashem Museum has been very important and on
January 27 the commemoration of the Shoa it has
been organized an exhibition of the work done in
each country, see

The project has grown with the students, who
developed the activities themselves adding themes
such as "Devils in person” (investigation of the
cruelty of some people, in special women).
A golem is a being in Jewish folklore. It is in the
shape of a man but it is made of inanimate
material, usually clay, and is brought to life by a
rabbi. The most famous golem in legend is the one
said to have been created by Rabbi Juddah Loew
