The LRE Foundation, in collaboration with the Mauthausen, Gusen Memorials and the Austrian Documentation Center is inviting guides, educators and cultural heritage professionals to its upcoming LRE Guide Training, which will be held from the 1st to the 3rd of February. This year’s training theme is “Storytelling about WWII Resistance in the context of Nazi memorials”.
The program for this year’s training is designed to equip participants with the most effective methods and techniques for conveying knowledge about the WWII resistance movements, with a special emphasis on engaging a younger audience. Through workshops, discussions, and practical exercises, participants will explore specific educational solutions implemented by the partners at their respective sites. Attendees will gain insight into the experiences of the Mauthausen and Gusen Memorials in creating new remembrance sites as well as the educators’ work in the context of disseminating WWII events awareness at the Austrian Documentation Centre in Vienna. The training will be enriched by guided tours of the memorial sites.
This event is part of the “Resistance Through Their EYES” project initiated by the LRE Foundation with the support of several international project partners and supported by the European Union. Partial financial coverage for participant access to the training is provided through the funding.
