Commemoration tours & events!

 

 
For many years the commemoration of World War II in various forms took place in Poland. Commemoration varies in its forms: from thematic seminars through marches, meetings to multicultural educational conferences. Each of these forms has its own specifics; however, it requires adequate preparation and binding. But more importantly, the individual events of commemoration require a selection of appropriate mechanisms to adapt a particular form of communication and commemoration of the characters of historical events. This match is vital—to ensure that the form of commemoration corresponds with the characteristics of historical events. We would like to offer our consulting services in terms of organization of such events.
 
Poland has become a popular place to conduct seminars and educational programs on the history of World War II. Educational programs for young people from the United States, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden are very often organized precisely at the places where World War II left its worst marks. Effective education cannot be achieved in the comfort of the classroom only, so various institutions organize seminars, conferences, research, summer programs, which adopt diverse perspectives and approaches to World War II. Therefore, we would like to offer our services in the field of visits to the sites of former camps and ghettos. We believe that a visit to these places is of immense importance for a better understanding of those times, and unquestionably is a key link in the educational process. Alongside a visit to the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, we suggest visiting other places of martyrdom in Poland, like Treblinka, Sobibór, Majdanek, Bełżec, or Chełmno.

Our service includes:

 

  • Organization of appropriate forms of commemoration and various stages of the organization of the event.
  • Dealing with various institutions and organizations in Poland.
  • Logistical organization of various stages of the event and tours.
  • Language translation of the documents and meetings.
  • Tourist service—guiding & logistics.
