Teachers' Network

The Teachers' Network of the project "Citizenship and Democracy from School" is an initiative of the Warren Educational Policies Program of the Auschwitz Institute that aims to provide a space for support and constructive exchange for educators who implement the project or who develop proposals with similar themes and methodologies.

Considering this objective, this page gathers support materials for strengthening the culture of respect, citizenship and democratic practice in schools. Here you can also discover how to participate in our community and follow our events, news and courses firsthand.
