In Germany and Israel, additional opportunities are provided for educators and youth workers to align their historical-political education, Holocaust education, and antiantisemitism work with the needs of a post-migrant society and marginalized groups.
In an creative-artistic and aesthetic trialogue, under the guidance of professional artists
from the Jaffa Theatre in Old Jaffa in cooperation with the Shaarร LHaNegev Highschool and the Almahabesh Theatre in Rahat, as well as the Bedouin Leadership Program Desert Stars,
Jewish and Arab-Israeli youth engage with German youth of migrant-Muslim background in exploring their respective narratives about current conditions and historical contexts.
The focus is on understanding the world from the perspective of others, opening up for new narratives and approaches to decipher and comprehend various societal and historical contexts.
The exploration of historical contexts and the various aspects of remembrance culture are substantiated through collaboration with Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and various memorial Instituts in Germany and Poland.
Through research, conversations with survivors, visits to memorial sites, museums, and initiatives, foundations are laid to use theater, art, and music to write new stories for a shared future, transcending language barriers and national borders.
