Kit pédagogique "N'oubliez jamais"

AFTV committee members and a group of dedicated volunteers have been working on the education kit project "N'oubliez jamais" since 2022. A 20-minute documentary was made on the life of Esther Wise, who was a 15-year-old Jewish girl during World War Two and survived the Holocaust. After the war, Esther migrated to Melbourne, Australia where she still lives today at age 99.

The volunteers worked tirelessly to create comprehension and communicative activities based on Esther's personal story as she relates it in the documentary. The kit offers differentiated activities for years 9-10 and years 11-12 and is free for all AFTV members and non-members.

    Compte rendu - AFTV 2023 Cultural / PL Event: Chagall

    CHAGALL - an exhibition celebrating the story of an international master, among the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Marc Chagall (1887-1985). For a change we decided on a Sunday afternoon (29 October) to visit the CHAGALL exhibition at the Jewish Museum of Australia in Alma Road, St Kilda. This obviously appealed as we had well over 40 bookings.

    Compte rendu - AFTV Atelier Théâtre

    There is no other way to report on this event than by expressing immense gratitude. So, MILLE MERCIS Natacha Muller, director of The French Loop for guiding us during a whole day and showing us ways to create 'des occasions théâtrales' in our classes. An apt sub-title for l'Atelier théâtre would be FAIRE FEU DE TOUT BOIS, the name of one of the workshops proposed.
