Elie Wiesel Study Tour

To avoid repeating the same mistakes from the past, young people must understand the parallel circumstances in history and how each of us is responsible for contributing to the future, for establishing peace in the world, and for promoting human rights. The Elie Wiesel Study Tour, "Explore the past. Shape the future!" is an award-winning program at the Romanian Youth Gala (cultural section) in 2017. It offers students the opportunity to understand the political, social, and cultural forces that created and perpetuated the Holocaust, allows them to witness the horrors of Auschwitz, and aims to increase the understanding of participants about undemocratic regimes. Throughout this process and through reflection exercises led by program coordinators, students will gain a greater appreciation for democratic values, the significance of open and responsible governance.

The program has been closed in the Republic of Moldova.
