Mi Dor Le Dor Europe: Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning launches its training for educators programme in Warsaw with a diverse training program
The AEPJ member Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning launched the training for educators of Mi Dor Le Dor Europe. A diverse group of 28 professionals, including experts in Jewish heritage, educators from both formal and informal settings, tour and museum guides, and members of Jewish community organizations, came together in Warsaw to embark on this new edition of the training programme.
The program began with a warm welcome from Helena Czernek at the Mi Polin Mezuzah Center, located on Złota 62 Street. This unique space serves as both a Jewish mini-museum and a design store. Participants engaged in a workshop and explored the center before taking a short tour of one of the most significant surviving remnants of the Warsaw Ghetto, located in the courtyard of the building at Złota 62.
From there, the group continued with a city walk to the Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning, where they participated in an intensive session focused on the Object-Based Learning methodology, immersing themselves in a hands-on exploration of this engaging educational approach.
On November, the first online session took place. The lecturer dr. Karolina Szymaniak is a Yiddishist, literary scholar, translator, editor, and Yiddish language instructor—a woman of many talents. It comes as no surprise that she holds a doctorate in the humanities. During the session, she introduced participants to the complexities of Yiddish literature and its impact on Polish-Jewish relations. Her lecture inspired listeners to interpret the urban spaces they navigate through the cognitive framework of the Yiddish legacy.
MiDorLeDor Europe is inspired by the MiDorLeDor project developed by Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning in Warsaw since 2012, coordinated by AEPJ and co-funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union.
