In the autumn of 2012, 18 workshops for over 500 school students from Zamosc were carried out at the ‘Synagogue’ Center of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland. Classes were developed and led by volunteers trained in the project Creating a team of cultural animators for the ‘Synagogue’ Center.

The participants learnt about the history and culture of Zamosc Jews in an interesting and innovative way through active methods of education.

Within the framework of the project three workshops were held on following topics:
1. History of Jews in Zamosc
2. Judaism – main holidays and traditions
3. Role of a synagogue in Jewish community

The classes will be a regular element of educational activity of the ‘Synagogue’ Center.

The project Creating a team of cultural animators for the ‘Synagogue’ Center is implemented in cooperation with the ‘Well of Memory’ Association and the Center for Jewish History and Culture of the State Higher School of Vocational Education in Zamosc.
