Trainings for students and teachers

The main component is our Norwegian project, targeting students from 9th and 10th grade at Norwegian Lower Secondary schools. Student groups accompanied by a teacher participate in a three-day learning program at Utøya.  At the end of the program, students have increased knowledge, confidence and commitment to act as multipliers with their peers – passing on knowledge about the terror attacks 22 July 2011 and promoting a democratic culture in schools and local communities. Together with Utøya, the EWC also offers democracy workshops for youth active in Norwegian civil society.

Every year, we also organise international trainings. Read more about it below:

Fighting antisemitism, xenophobia and racism now!

Building upon several years of cooperation, EWC will partner with the POLIN museum in Warsaw to offer an educational 3-year project for Polish and Norwegian youth addressing hate speech and intolerance, as part of the EEA Grants pre-defined project “Jewish Culture Heritage” (2019-2024). It will provide tools for developing competences such as tolerance, intercultural understanding and critical thinking.
