Free2choose-Create

Turkish versions of the ten Best of Free2Choose clips have been made available to educators. In addition, a group of Turkish students have produced two Free2choose-Create films of their own on the topics of freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom from discrimination. These films can be found on our Free2choose-CreateYouTube channel and are being used as an educational tool in Turkish schools and universities.

The dilemma in this Free2choose-Create filmTurkey: Should media be allowed to report in a derogatory manner about minorities?

‘Teaching about the Holocaust is in essence the story of being confronted with the past. For no country it is easy to be confronted with its own history. Students can learn a great deal by studying events of mass murder and severe human rights violations.’
