Final Conference

The project Remembrance Education for Thinking critically – RETHINK was a 36-month effort to shed light on the educational programmes that have been developed in the field of Remembrance Education. The RETHINK partnership intends to demonstrate that the approach of Remembrance Education is beneficial to the enhancement of pupils’ critical thinking skills and the ability to challenge prejudices.

With this final seminar, we want to promote the project results towards educational institutions and other learning providers, policy makers, social and sectoral partners and stakeholders at European level.
