Creative pedagogical methods, backed by visual aids and a vocabulary list – and a measure of humor – will give students a positive experience with the language.

Human Rights Tours
The Way of Human Rights and Jewish Memorial
Grades 8 and above, PDF flyer
This tour will take us from the oldest neighborhood in Nürnberg to the Way of Human Rights and Jewish memorial. We will discuss the city’s history regarding human rights, as well as reflect upon the significance of the pillars lining the Way of Human Rights. Each pillar represents the “building blocks” of human rights and serves to remind us of the road it took to get where we are today and the challenges we may face to preserve these rights for the future. Students will be engaged to take notes and discuss the importance of each human right. To conclude the tour, we will visit the Jewish monument for a discussion about the human rights violations committed against Jewish people during the Second World War. Students on this tour will come full circle in history, seeing how the past impacts the present and how our actions today shape the future.
Duration: 75 minutes

Dutzendteich and Nazi Party Rallying Grounds
Grades 10 and above, PDF flyer
Standing on the same ground where Nazis held their party rallies directly confronts students with difficult questions: How did these rallies convince so many people that their harmful ideology was worth following? Why would this monument be preserved? And what can we do today to prevent the atrocities the Nazi Regime committed from ever happening again? Today, Nürnberg is known as the city of Peace and Human Rights. This tour will guide students on the evolution of Nürnberg, explaining its history at the location of some of its darkest moments, and how it evolved into what we know today.
Duration: 90 minutes
Guide: Corrine Tucker, M.A. Human Rights
