International Research Conference on Education about the Holocaust
Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the IHRA's Steering Committee on Education Research and the
University of Teacher Education in Lucerne, Switzerland, it is our pleasure to
invite you to the concluding conference of the IHRA Education Research Project.
Conference Title: International Research Conference on Education about the
Holocaust
Dates: (14), 15, 16 (and 17) February 2016
Location: University of Teacher Education Lucerne (PH Luzern), Switzerland
The IHRA Education Research Project aims to provide an overview of the
knowledge coming out of empirical research about Holocaust education. A
specific focus is the international multilingual perspective, with our
international expert team collecting studies in over ten languages.
The concluding conference of the Education Research Project will present the
outcomes of the research, and aims to facilitate networking amongst
researches, as well as to foster dialog between researchers and policy makers.
The conference program includes a series of keynote presentations and
workshops featuring the results of the Education Research Project and other
major research studies in Holocaust education. The conference will also
explore the implications of this research on government policy, educational
practice and further research efforts. Concluding panels comprising
representatives of funding organizations and educational decision-makers will
discuss the key findings, best practices and recommendations.
A detailed description, the program, and indications for registration can be
