Schools and colleges from across England are invited to take part in the Lessons from Auschwitz Project flying from Manchester Airport.

The Holocaust Educational Trust is delighted to invite your students to take part in Lessons from Auschwitz Project. This is our flagship project and includes a one-day visit to the site of the former Nazi concentration camp and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

This bespoke 4-part course is open to two post-16 students in every state school in England. Places on the project, costing just £59, are extremely limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. One teacher is also able to apply for a space. Please note that teacher spaces are extremely limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis, with priority given to those attending with schools which have not participated on Lessons from Auschwitz in the past and those who will be supporting student with additional needs. We welcome one application per school.

Cost
The cost is £59 per participant – this fee covers all course materials and access to the online learning platform, as well as the flights to and from Poland for the day visit. This payment is non-refundable.   

Travel Subsidy
We aim to make the Lessons from Auschwitz Project as financially accessible as possible. Limited funding is available to offset additional costs of participation to those schools which demonstrate a need for additional financial assistance.
