Introduction
This workshop explores how “standing together” helped them survive for so long. Colleagues risked their own lives, standing together with the Franks to keep them fed and hidden – and despite the tensions of living in such cramped conditions, the attic-dwellers, too, managed to stand together for two long years before ultimately being discovered.
Exploring:
relationships, sacrifice, values, the Holocaust in context.

What is the format of the day?
We will work with you to plan a timetable for the workshops, to suit the number of classes you would like to include – and around the specific timings of your school day. It might look something like this:
9.00 – 10.00: Session 1
10.00 – 11.00: Session 2
11.00 – 12.00: Session 3
LUNCH
1.00 – 2.00: Session 4

Are there any technical requirements?
Your visitor will need access to a laptop/ screen/projector set up in the working space.
Where do the workshops take place?
These are active workshops and benefit from a large open space such as the school hall. A large classroom with desks and chairs stowed away as far as possible is fine.
