We are excited to announce the opportunity for teachers, educators and youth workers from Europe, Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and Eastern Partnership countries to submit their own original lesson, workshop or activity plans for a single (45 minutes) or a double session (90 minutes).
The activity plans should focus on one or more of the JustNow central themes, i.e. human rights education, international criminal law, refugees and migration, contemporary social issues such as LGBTQIA+ rights, women's rights, climate change activism, extremism, polarisation, media education (media literacy, countering disinformation, digital safeguarding). All materials should be prepared in a blended- learning format, i.e. allowing for their implementation in both the offline and online context.

On its history study tour through Poland, the Hohenschwangau Gymnasium just stopped in Kreisau/Krzyżowa from 17.7. - 19.7.2022 to immerse itself in the history of the place and, in particular, to learn more about the resistance group "Kreisau Circle".
The program included a historical tour of the site and workshops on the resistance group, in which the participants dealt with the personalities as well as the views and goals of the Circle. The students, aged between 17 and 18, were very engaged in preparing the talk show "A Look into the Past": they slipped into the role of several Kreisau Circle members, who were greeted and interviewed by a moderation team. They also investigated how the Circle distinguished itself from the N.S., and what references there are between the documents and the Basic Law of the FRG.
