Teacher Workshop Seeking Justice: From Nuremberg to The Hague
October 2-3 and November 5-6, 2023
Our current world is a very complicated one. Young people are particularly attuned to issues of justice and injustice, whether in their personal lives or in the world around them. This past year, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent reports of gross violations of human rights, the question becomes what can be done to bring the perpetrators to justice and what does ‘justice’ look like? Such events are also challenging for teachers who want to address these topics in their classrooms.
Programme
The International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) and EuroClio invite present and future teachers of secondary students to a special 2-day workshop in The Hague. During the workshop teachers will reflect and discuss how to address issues of international justice with their students.
The programme for the teacher workshop will follow, on an abbreviated scale, the youth programme also being offered. We will deal with how best to teach about topics such as definitions of justice and injustice, the Nuremberg trials for history and context, and the subsequent development of the International Criminal Court (ICC). We will discuss and develop outlines for other possible school-based activities, and encourage sharing of ideas and experiences the participant educators have had when covering issues of international justice in their teachings. © EuroClio
