Under Jean Pierre Bendahan’s coordination, who is a volunteer of the IRWF, and based on a Natalio Wengrower’s idea, who is the vice-president of the institution, the first presentation at the Secondary School ”Project Three” took place in the town of Nuñez. With the presence of a large crowd of students who actively participated, the guest for the occasion, the journalist Nicholas Tozer, told Wallenberg’s story and those of many other cases of diplomatic saviors in the Second World War.

The students joined the lecture with questions encouraged from the educational material they were provided with.

The initiative counted with the support of the principal of the institution, Francisco D’Agostino (photograph), who warmly welcomed the delegates of the Wallenberg Foundation and attended the lecture attentively.

The inauguration of the program was successful, given the results of active and interested participation of the students to a case that moves essential human values.

Under Jean Pierre Bendahan’s coordination, a volunteer of the IRWF, and based on a Natalio Wengrower’s idea, who is the vice-president of the institution, took place a new presentation of the Educational Center ”Nuevo Horizonte” in the town of Constitución. With the presence of a large crowd of students who actively participated of the debate which followed the lecture, the special guest of the occasion, the journalist Nicholas Tozer, told the stories of many other cases such as Wallenberg’s. In particular, he stressed the story of the hero of the Polish underground Jan Karski, who was the first eyewitness to offer testimony to the allied forces about the Holocaust.

During 80 minutes the students’ most common questions were: ”How can we apply Wallenberg’s example to our reality?” ”Is it really possible to change reality by actively participating to modify its injustices?” The initiative counted with the support of the principal of the institution, Beatriz Montes de Oca (photograph), who will prepare a poll so that students participate and give their opinions and suggestions in order to improve the program.
