Expressions Of Interest for the 2026 Programme are now OPEN


​The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand is planning to take teachers to the Inge Woolf Memorial Seminar for NZ Educators at Yad Vashem in early 2026.

Please complete the Expression of Interest form at the button below, and direct any queries to our Education Director Kris Clancy at [email protected]

​


COMPLETE EOI FORM
“This is a life changing adventure from which
your knowledge and understanding of the Shoah will be enhanced
​in ways you cannot imagine.”  

BACKGROUND


Since 2013, the Holocaust Centre , in conjunction with Yad Vashem, has sent between 25-30 New Zealand teachers every two years* to attend an intensive study seminar at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Israel.  Generous scholarships are given to each teacher to enable them to attend.
​
The programme includes
  • Pedagogy and theories on safely teaching the Holocaust to students
  • Connections between the actions of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders before, during, and after the Holocaust
  • Curriculum from experts in Holocaust education
  • Meeting with Holocaust survivors  where possible
  • Connections with the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories curriculum & Social Studies Refresh curriculum​
  • Connections with the new NCEA standards in History, Social Studies, English, Media Studies, and Religious Studies

These educators  bring home, into their classrooms, the many lessons and teaching ideas learned from world-leading experts in the field of Holocaust education. They also experience Jerusalem and other areas of Israel.

Beyond the seminar,  Yad Vashem graduates become part of a close-knit alumni and continue as supported leaders in Holocaust education. 

The seminar is named in honour of Inge Woolf z"l, the Holocaust Centre's founding Director who was the driving force behind enabling New Zealand teachers to learn at Yad Vashem.
