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 school in Wales. Places on the project, costing just £75, 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 students with additional needs. We welcome one application per school. Not all requests for teacher places will be fulfilled.
