Our virtual trip begins with the presentation of the
countries involved in the project, so that students

Other topics on which they have written in the
forum have been the films they knew about the
Shoah, the books they have read and made them
reflect.
Another important moment which has allow the
students to deepen and reflect on what they knew

Throughout the project, students have examined
alarm signals by collecting news about racism,
