Programmes

Programmes connecting remembrance, education, art, heritage and public space.

The Centre's programmes speak to different audiences and use different formats, but they share a common purpose: to remember, to learn and to connect people through responsible public culture.

Participants in the TARGET international programme

International project

TARGET – Teaching About Race and Gender Exclusion Timelines

TARGET is a two-year international project led by the Centre for the Promotion of Tolerance and Holocaust Remembrance. It addresses the exclusionary policies of far-right movements and regimes in the 1930s and 1940s, with a particular focus on racial, ethnic and gender perspectives.

The project develops accessible, contemporary and visual learning tools for young people, teachers and wider public audiences. It examines how exclusion affected women, men, girls and boys, and how historical knowledge can support a critical understanding of contemporary discrimination and exclusion.

Activities include mapping educational needs, international study and commemorative programmes, expert exchanges, workshops in history, graphic design, multimedia and IT, the development of interactive tools, pilot workshops with pupils and teachers, and public dissemination of results.

Brundibar performance

Art and education

Brundibar, an opera for children and young people

Brundibar is a children's opera by Hans Krasa and Adolf Hoffmeister, written in 1938 and performed in Terezin. Today it serves as both an artistic work and a powerful educational entry point for learning about the Holocaust.

The programme has a special place in the history of the Centre because it marked the beginning of its public programme activity in Zagreb on 27 January 2018. It combines performance, remembrance, education and work with young audiences.

Art and culture at the Centre also include concerts, exhibitions, public interventions and programmes in public space, from performance projects to visual and educational formats for different audiences.
