We ask all teachers who submit their lesson to use these guidelines when writing up your lessons to submit for uploading to the website. Following these guidelines helps everyone who reads your lesson to easily do your lesson in their own schools.

The main theme:

(1) To bring a different culture to the students by showing them that it is not so much different.

(2) The secondary theme is an exhibition management – creating and realization of the exhibition (studying, design and guiding).

In the framework of the Roots project, students choose a family member or a Jewish person, and use modern technologies to create a film presenting the story of that person. Organizing this project, from identifying the person, collecting photographs, making video footages, writing the script, putting together the film - is entirely the responsibility of the students, with the help of the teacher who guides them through the whole process.

Between 2000 and 2010, Centropa interviewed 1,200 Jewish Holocaust survivors still living in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Balkans. Centropa then digitized 22,000 of their photographs and asked them to tell their stories about the entire 20th century -- as they lived it. This Treasure Hunt will help you familiarize yourself with the Centropa website and all it has to offer as you work on creating your project. Use the Centropa site to answer the following questions and you will know how to find the resources you need for other projects. 

The project is done by a group of 6 students for Spanish elective class where the students first watched Kalef movie by Centropa then based on the movie, created their own movies interviewing 3 members of the Turkish - Jewish community.  

You can find the detailed planning of the 6 week lesson plan attached (in Spanish and English). the short movie making process is also attached with questions subjects.
