The project uses methods developed in non-formal civic and historical education characterized by on-site learning and project logic:
Local project teams will meet to discuss general aspects of Jewish religion and culture, aspects of modern Jewish-European history relevant to their respective national context, aspects of the history of the Nazi-Regime, World War II and the Shoa and their European significance, and aspects of the history of Israel and Jewish culture today. In order to be able to do so, they will be provided with learning material (text, images, audio and film material) that will offer a personal approach and help to engage participants in analysis and discussion. This module will consist of workshops and individual work.
This process will be moderated and, if necessary, guided by pedagogical staff of the participating partner organizations. The Learning material will be put together by Zeitpfeil e.V. using their experience from earlier similar projects. Project teams in France, Poland, and Portugal will be provided with English translations of a selection from the material.
In the further course of the project, participants will conduct their own research in their local community. Following the principle of „learning by doing“, they will be introduced to work methods in history projects. This includes techniques of research in libraries and archives, of analysis of oral history interviews as well as basic principles of the analysis of historical sources. Within this framework, local project teams can take a look at the history of Jewish congregations, biographies of Jewish persons, histories of persecution, deportation, exile and expropriation, as well as Jewish life today. Participants will have the chance to present their findings in a number of formats: Guidebooks, fictional or non-fictional film, websites, acting, creative writing …
