The Jewish Roots in Győr Charitable Foundation’s 2026 High School Project
Following the 2023–24 student competition on Jewish local history and our 2025 project on social exclusion, our foundation is announcing a new program for 2026 entitled “Minorities – Acceptance, Equality, Integration.” We are confident that numerous high schools in Győr and the surrounding area will join our initiative again this year.
Goal
The goal of the project is to present the problems associated with belonging to a minority, emphasizing that a lack of mutual understanding and tolerance can lead to serious conflicts in both school and social environments. In accordance with our founding charter, we continue to pay special attention to the issue of anti-Semitism.
The program encourages active action against all forms of discrimination.
Expert sociologists present the experiences of minority groups, the processes that lead to unjust discrimination, and the serious historical consequences of exclusion.
Content
The project consists of three parts:
- preparatory sessions,
- a contest,
- financial support for classes and schools’ own projects.
One of the tasks for the student teams will be to interview the descendants of Holocaust survivors. Within the limits of our modest financial resources, entire classes can apply for financial support, which can be used, among other things, to partially cover the costs of visiting Jewish memorial sites.
Call for applications
In Hungarian only.
