CURRENT: A Dutch Lawrence of Arabia?
For upper secondary education - August 26 - October 11, 2024
There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the extraordinary life of Jacob Israël de Haan. This programme has been developed for secondary school students, especially those in the upper grades. It offers a valuable addition to the curriculum for history, literature, and citizenship. Pupils go through the exhibition in groups and are challenged to stimulate critical thinking skills with assignments and discussion questions.
A selection of our different programs and projects:
Synagoge Groningen developed the music education program ' Klezmerklas 2.0 ' for group 5/6. A cheerful and versatile project in which knowledge was gained about Judaism through stories and songs.
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Purim... all Jewish holidays. In a themed tour you will discover the meaning and interpretation of these holidays. This program is offered on a permanent basis (on request).
Persecution & Freedom. Then and now. Group 7/8 students discover the local war history through historical characters in a theater programme. The GRID-Grafisch Museum offers a creative assignment.
Synagogue Groningen developed the program for blind and visually impaired visitors'Feel the Shul'. You can touch and sometimes smell or taste many objects. With a braille book you will be guided to audio documents that explain aspects of Jewish culture in poetic form. This program has been developed in collaboration with the Eye Association.
The Jewish culture. What is that actually about? In this program for group 7/8, students become acquainted with the basics of Judaism and above all the rich symbolism. You then get to work with those symbols in a creative workshop with artist Emily Wortel. This program can be tailored to multiple target groups!
In the workshop'Watch your hands' (lower secondary education) the themes of identity and commemoration are focuspoints. After a tour, you will get started with a drawing assignment, in which the Jewish Monument by Edu Waskowsky and the work of the Iranian artist Hossein Tadi serve as an example.
