Enjoy this fantastic opportunity to volunteer on this historical online project with SCI Germany!
Project Dates: 31 July - 07 August 2021
Volunteers needed: 2
Topics: Antiracism, antifascism, remembrance
Description: The project “I remember” (organized by KJR Dachau ) demonstrates how participatory digital remembrance affect topics and themes such as the history of national socialism, the Holocaust and its impact on the landscape of today's society. The KZ Dachau was the first concentration camp built by Nazi Germany in March 1933. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here. Many prisoners died as a result of terror, inhuman forced labour, diseases, exhaustion and hunger.
Type of Work: Through online seminars, videos, audios, and social media, volunteers will learn about the history of National Socialism (NS) through communication with survivors and through active participation in workshops. Current political situations will also be discussed. The project offers the chance to bring together young people from all over the world and encourage them to share their knowledge and encourage them to discuss important topics and issues.
Study Theme: NS history, WWII history and politics, change of perspective and a multi-layered discussion and elaboration of these topics, media education, and digital remembrance work.
Language: The group will speak English.
Time Commitment: Times for the online ZOOM sessions will be finalised closer to the start of the project.
