Application Process
If your school or college is located in one of the regions invited to participate in the Lessons from Auschwitz (LFA) Project in Autumn 2010, you should have received a covering letter and application form by post in May 2010. If you have not received an application form, please click here to request one via email. Please tell us the name and location of your school or college in the email.
Step 1: Application
- Designate a coordinating teacher who will oversee the LFA Project and be the main point of contact for your school/college's students and with the Holocaust Educational Trust.
- The coordinating teacher must complete an application form and post it back to The Trust along with a cheque for £98. Each project has a different deadline. Please consult the application process with your application form.
Step 2: Response
- Student places are allocated on a first come first served basis. Coordinating teachers will be notified by email if they have been assigned places.
- Each Project has a small number of teacher places. These are allocated once student places have been assigned. Please be aware some Local Authorities (LA) may require teachers to take duty of care for other students from within their LA.
- If you have not received an email response from us within three weeks of posting your application form please call us on 0207 222 4761 or email us at info@lfaproject.org.uk
Step 3: Registration
- Chosen participants must be able to take part in all four components of the course. For
guidance on how to choose participants please visit www.lfaproject.org.uk/advice - The coordinating teacher will receive login details, via email, to register the participants
on the LFA Project's online registration system. They must submit the names, dates
of birth, personal email addresses and contact telephone numbers (mobile number is
preferred) of participants. This should be completed promptly after places have been confirmed. Please check your application process for the deadline date. - The designated participants will then receive their login details by email. They must then access the online registration and medical forms. The forms need to be completed, signed and returned by post well in advance of the first seminar. Please refer to the application process for the deadline date. Please retain a copy of all forms for your reference. Participants who do not return completed and signed
forms will not be permitted to take part.
NB: All participants are required to have a valid passport for the visit to Poland. Participants with non-UK or EU passports should contact the Polish Embassy (www.poland.embassyhomepage.com) for visa requirements.
