Application Process

If your school or college is located in one of the regions invited to participate in the Lessons from Auschwitz (LFA) Project in Spring 2012, you should have received a covering letter and application form by post. You can also apply online.

1. APPLICATION

• Designate a coordinating teacher who will oversee the LFA Project and be the main point of contact for your school/college’s students and with the Holocaust Educational Trust.
   
• The coordinating teacher must complete an application form and post it back to The Trust along with a cheque for £118.

Please note if you withdraw more than a week before the course, you will have to pay a £40 cancellation fee. If you withdraw within a week of the course beginning, you will forfeit the full £59 per participant.

2. RESPONSE

• Student places are allocated on a first come first served basis, with priority given to schools who have not previously participated. Coordinating teachers will be notified by email if they have been assigned places.
   
• Each course has a small number of teacher places; teachers are required to attend all parts of the course. These are allocated once student places have been assigned. Please be aware some Local Authorities (LA) may require teachers to act as a contact point for other schools from within their LA.
   
• If you have not received an email response from us within three weeks of posting your application form please call us on 0207 222 4761 or email us at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING

3. REGISTRATION

• Chosen participants must be able to take part in all four components of the course. If students fail to attend the Orientation Seminar they will not be permitted to take part in the visit to Poland. Failure to attend the Follow-Up Seminar may affect the future participation of your school. For guidance on how to choose participants please click here.
   
• The coordinating teacher will receive login details, via email, to register the participants on the LFA Project’s online registration system. They must submit the names, dates of birth, personal email addresses and contact telephone numbers (mobile number is preferred) of participants. This should be completed promptly after places have been confirmed. Please check your application process for the deadline date. Registration cannot proceed without these details.
   
• The designated participants will then receive their login details by email. They must then access the online registration and medical forms. The forms need to be completed, signed and returned by post well in advance of the first seminar. Please refer to the application process for the deadline date. Please retain a copy of all forms for your reference. Participants who do not return completed and signed forms will not be permitted to take part.

NB: All participants are required to have a valid passport for the visit to Poland. Participants with non-UK or EU passports should contact the Polish Embassy (http://www.londynkg.polemb.net/index.php?document=45) for visa requirements.

PLEASE NOTE: OUR PRIMARY METHOD OF CONTACT WITH COORDINATING TEACHERS AND PARTICIPANTS IS VIA EMAIL.
