IYM DACHAU WORKSHOPS

29-30 July 2026

This summer we were invited to run workshops at the International Youth Meeting Dachau.

 Every year, young people from various countries come together to learn about the history of National Socialism and the former Dachau concentration camp. They also reflect on modern forms of exclusion, racism and discrimination.

Our practitioner, author Stuart Johnstone, ran two days of poetry and creative writing workshops exploring personal perspectives on remembrance. Some participants chose to write about their visit to the memorial site, while others focused on family members lost to conflict, or on their own lived experiences.

It was an absolute privilege to work with this inspiring group of young people and we would like to thank the IYM Dachau team for hosting us!
