Mi Dor Le Dor Europe: Shtetl Routes Network Incubator seminar
On November 2024, a Shtetl Routes Network Incubator seminar took place at the ‘Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre’ Centre in Lublin with the aim of building and strengthening a community of people from Poland and Ukraine involved in working with Jewish cultural heritage through various activities (cultural, educational, artistic, museum, ethnographic, tourist, documentary, Internet, other).
The three-day program of the seminar included workshops on the MiDorLeDor methodology for Jewish heritage education, lectures intended to highlight the specificities of the Shtetl Route, unique as it connects Jewish legacy in the transborder region with Ukraine and Belarus, discussion panels regarding the current deals for Jewish heritage education, and showcases of cultural products that are contributing to the Jewish culture dissemination such as concerts and visits to places and memorials related to the history of Lublin’s Jews.
Subsequent meetings of the project will be held online. Participants will also carry out local projects, which will be presented in autumn next year at a conference summarising the project in Lublin.
The training is organised by the ‘Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre’ Centre in Lublin in cooperation with the AEPJ (European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage), the Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning and the collaboration of Centre for Urban History of Central and Eastern Europe in Lviv, co-funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union.
