Following the internship at the Yad Vashem Institution, a two-day workshop on “The Use of Methodological Materials and Museum Exhibits in the Educational Process” was organized within the framework of a cooperation agreement between the International Commission and Yad Vashem – International School for Holocaust Studies.
The Secretariat of the International Commission organized the event in cooperation with its long-term partner, the Kėdainiai Regional Museum.
