Democracy in schools: executive summary of year

Democracy in Schools: just a theory? Institut Sainte-Marie de Chatelet was able this year to prove otherwise!

all started last year when the class of 5 th social and educational sciences from the Institut Sainte-Marie de Chatelet has shown a keen interest in World War II. Their history teacher, Mrs. V., could only respond to this call by inviting Kichka Henry, a survivor of the death camps, to come and tell them about his painful past. The students were all very shaken by emotion pervades the gaze of the questioner.

In fall 2005, the school hosted an exhibit loaned by the Auschwitz Foundation throughout the month of October: "The world of the concentration of 1914-1945 .

Then, through the Community French, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Social Integration and Equal Opportunities, January 27, 2006, some students have flew to Auschwitz: the trip allowed them to see reality the draft a year. But all students are unfortunately unable to attend this fabulous journey: that is why their comrades went to Mechelen and visited Fort Breendonck and the Dossin barracks, whence the Belgian Jews to Auschwitz . Rhaeto students found themselves on the same day, departing and arriving trains deported. One could not imagine a more poignant symbol.

could not stay there, the infernal trio, composed of ladies V. and A. and Mr. B. wanted to immerse students more concretely in the democracy. Then the spring of the same name has imposed itself. On March 21, 2006, the school welcomed a host of personalities from varied fields: journalists, politicians, psychologists, survivors and volunteers. All were present.

This day was designed to immerse students in a reflection so as to lead to an awareness of the importance of democratic movements daily. It is obvious that the main objective of this day is to prevent at all costs that the horrors of wars recurrence. Now all students at the Institute feels a mission.

The speakers were very well received by students who came out very rich and the day of these meetings. Theories of their teachers have finally made sense to them. They are eager to see happen next spring!

In conclusion, it is undeniable that these activities have been beneficial for everyone, even the least motivated. All were affected by either a witness or by another studio. An exhibition, a journey testimony, a symposium, all of this, it must be remembered, thanks to a passionate class!
