Three international interdisciplinary seminars were held in Poland and Norway. Their goal was to find ways to combat antisemitism, racism and prejudice, to reflect on social memory and to network educators, experts and students from universities in Norway, Poland and Germany. We believe that learning about the history of Polish Jews not only deepens historical knowledge but also fosters respect for individuals from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and equips young people for life with tools enabling them to coexist in a diverse society.

The project—financed by the EEA Grants, along with support from the state budget—offered an opportunity to develop various educational programs addressed to youth, educators, specialists, and general public. Its primary objective was to recover and share the legacy of Polish Jews through educational and cultural initiatives.
