Our goal is to connect teachers and students at:
- Jewish Day Schools
- Tolerance Education Centre Schools (TEC) in Lithuania
- ORT schools in the FSU
- other similar educational institutions in the Baltics, Central and Eastern Europe
How:
- by sharing stories of Jewish life both past and present
- focus on the shtetl and kehilla
- exchange of ideas and projects
- small peer groups of students
- extending to a wider group
- no extra resources required by schools

Some videos from the students:
Two animated videos on the topic of the Holocaust, made by ORT high school students in Kiev.
Every year they discuss this topic using creative works of the students.
The film “Butterflies do not live in ghetto” based on the poem, written in 1942 by one of the Shoah’s victims – Paul Friedman.
The film “The dream about the theatre” is the project work in the preparation for the trip “Masa Shorashim” in Poland this year.
