We invite teachers to a two-day international seminar on informal education accompanying the 7th edition of the Sound in the Silence project. The event, which will be held in English, will take place on Friday and Saturday, 4 and 5 October, at the Denkort Bunker Valentin Memorial in Bremen (Rekumer Siel). Admission is free, but reservation is required.
We invite history and civics teachers from upper secondary schools to come to Bremen on 4 and 5 October and take part in workshops with two experienced educators, Maja Sturm and Claudia Beißwanger. During those two days, we will discuss practical aspects of non-formal education and tackle the following issues: How to implement methods and ideas of non-formal education in school work? How to use artistic means while working on specific historical topics in the classroom?

What is the Sound in the Silence project?
Sound in the Silence is an interdisciplinary remembrance project aimed at encouraging high school students from around Europe to actively reflect on the difficult aspects of the 20th-century history with the use of artistic means.
Each edition takes place in a carefully selected location. While the pupils learn about the site's past and work on the final performance, their teachers take part in workshops on interdisciplinary ways of teaching history so as to exchange experiences with peers from different countries.
