12th International
Centropa Summer Academy

“A once in a lifetime opportunity to meet people from all over the world and inspire each other to create great things for our students. Even though you return absolutely exhausted your batteries are charged for the next school year. Stimulating talks and discussions, a week spent with inspiring people. Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.”

“Amazing! This has been one of the most inspirational professional development trips of my career. Students often regard history as a “one-and-done” event, with no connection to present day or their own lives. The CSA provides teachers with resources to help students see that history is all about life and that although events may have start-and-stop dates, they produce a ripple that continues to impact us long after the actions have ceased.”

“Thanks to the CSA, I became aware of the important role of the teacher as a story teller who is shaping students’ opinions toward history and the contemporary world. Centropa provided teachers like myself with the possibility to stimulate students using tools already discovered by colleagues and offering others tools of my own.”

“One of the best things during CSAs are when teachers are given the opportunity to show how they use Centropa in the classroom. I really enjoy seeing what other people do, thinking that it could be worth a try or even that I might be able to tweak what someone else has done and adapt it to my own circumstances and environment.”
