What traces of the colonial and Nazi past can be found in the Humboldt Forum? How can they be used in the classroom? This training course shows how the historic site of the Berlin Palace and the ethnological collections are suitable for exploring the topic of social memory in the classroom. The concept for the workshop for upper secondary school students was developed together with educators from Israel, Jamaica, Namibia, and Rwanda. The training course presents this concept and invites to discuss a culture of solidarity and remembrance in today’s post-migrant society.
