Background:
The OSCE Mission to Moldova is looking for a NATIONAL IT SPECIALIST to draft technical specifications for the development of an interactive e-learning tool for the optional school course “The Holocaust: History and Lessons of Life”.
Based on the OSCE Ministerial Council Decision No. 12/04, “Tolerance and Non-Discrimination”, the OSCE participating States have committed to “promote remembrance of and, as appropriate, education about the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the importance of respect for all ethnic and religious groups.” It is generally recognized that Holocaust education can play an important role in efforts to combat anti-Semitism. Promoting Holocaust remembrance and education was a key element of the OSCE Berlin Declaration adopted in 2004 and is especially important in those countries where the Holocaust occurred and where its scars are still visible, as is the case for the Republic of Moldova.
Within the Mission’s mandate, the Human Rights Programme (HuR) assists the Moldovan authorities in streamlining diversity and tolerance through education in schools, and promoting non-discrimination and inclusiveness. In particular, the Mission has been assisting the Ministry of Education and Research in creating the necessary conditions for proper teaching of the history of the Holocaust in the local context, and the role of national minorities in Moldova’s history. As a part of this effort, the Mission provided expert support for the development of the curriculum and methodological package (printed teacher’s guide and pupils’ workbook) for the optional school course “The Holocaust: History and Lessons of Life” for pupils of 9-12 grades, in accordance with Moldova’s Action Plan on Holocaust Remembrance and Education for 2021-2024.
As of the beginning of 2023, the didactical package of this optional school course includes a paper-based teachers’ guide and pupils’ workbook. This year, the Mission aims at making the course more accessible and sustainable through the creation of a complimentary e-learning tool. The interactive e-learning tool will enhance and diversify the didactical package and allow for an improved self-study experience. The 15 modules of the methodological package shall be covered through at least five interactive e-learning sections by the end of this year’s efforts. For the technical development of the tool, the Mission will hire an IT company based on an open tender procedure. Up to four local experts on Holocaust education will develop the content and provide methodological guidance to the IT specialists.
To this end, the Mission seeks to engage an IT Specialist to draft technical specifications for the said tender procedure.
The OSCE is committed to achieving a better balance of women and men within the Organization.
