Since 2013 (and in conjunction with Yad Vashem), the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand has sent between 25-30 New Zealand educators every two years to attend an intensive 3-week study seminar at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
These educators get to experience Jerusalem and other areas of Israel, meet Holocaust survivors, and bring home into their classroom the many lessons and teaching practicum ideas learned from experts in the field of Holocaust education.
For many seminar graduate this is a "life changing experience".
The last Yad Vashem Seminar for New Zealand Educators was held in January 2019. Beyond the seminar itself Yad Vashem graduates become part of our very cherished alumni, and continue as supported advocates in Holocaust education, turning present and future generations into global citizens.
The seminar underwent a name change in 2021 in honour of HCNZ's Founding Director and the person who initiated the NZ educators Yad Vashem seminar, Mrs Inge Woolf z"l.
