During the years 2000, 2001 and beyond the exhibition "Anne Frank: A History for Today" will tour more than 30 countries worldwide. The exhibition creates a perfect opportunity for schools to host the exhibition and to organize a series of activities that serve to support the aims and themes of the exhibition. In the past the exhibition has been used by educational institutions as part of larger events such as "human rights week", "month of tolerance", etc.

Below you will find a model of what kinds of committees could be created to make the exhibition fit into a larger educational framework. The success of such a project is dependent on cooperation between the various subcommittees and a clear division of tasks. It is also important that the teachers and students agree on their respective roles. Communication and collaboration are perhaps the key words in such a project.

1. Organizational/Steering/Executive/Events Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Organizing the logistics of the exhibition when it comes to the school, including transportation, set-up, take-down, venue decisions and opening times.
· Creating the schedule of events.
· Making sure the other committees function the way they should and meet their deadlines.

2. Drama and Theater Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Creating theater or drama projects that relate to the themes of the exhibition. The Anne Frank House has worked successfully with various plays such as "Dreams of Anne Frank", "Cafe Zeitgeis", en "Then they came for Me". But there are many plays about tolerance and intolerance. It is also possible to put on drama-in-education activities that realate more to the experiences of the students themselves.

3. Poetry Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Arranging an evening of poetry readings (e.g. through a so-called "slam") about issues of tolerance and intolerance, or publishing poetry in the school newspaper or on the school website

4. Film Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Organizing a film festival after school around the themes of the exhibition. There are many films (in many languages) dealing with Anne Frank, the Holocaust and Human Rights.
· This committee can also suggest films to be used in for instance History, Civics, German or English classes that relate to the exhibition.

5. Local Research Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Research into the history of the Holocaust (or other Human Right violations) in one's own city or town. Especially interviews with local survivors (and creating an exhibition out of this for instance) can be an effective research tool (as well as inviting them to speak).

6. Documentation Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Photographing or videotaping the project (and creating an exhibition or short documentary about it).

7. Debate Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Organizing after-school debates about issues that relate to the exhibition. A useful topic for debate could be: "Should individuals be allowed to state publicly that the Holocaust never happened, or should this be prohibited by law"?

8. Guide Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Providing guides to the exhibition who can lead fellow students and others through the exhibition. These guides will be specially trained by Anne Frank House staff. Such high school guides have been a critical factor in the exhibition venues around the world, also when the exhibition has not been placed in schools.

9. Press/Publicity/Communications Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Providing publicity around the exhibition and the corollary events. If there is a school newspaper then a special edition (or editions) can focus on the exhibition and the events.
· Creating any brochures or posters that are to be distributed or displayed (e.g. in collaboration with the art commitee).
· Contacting the local media (in coolaboration with the outreach committee)

10. Outreach Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Contacts with the teachers and staff of the school (together with the organizational committee). A decision needs to be made what role the teachers (versus students) should play. For instance, one possible scenario is to have a teacher head each committee.
· Contacts with the broader community, especially the parents. Visits to the mayor, local NGO's and other institutions can get these individuals and organizations to assist in various ways. Students can also invite members of the community (including parents) and students from other schools to visit the exhibition after hours (work with guide committee).

11. Budget/ Finance/Fundraising Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Making sure that there is a budget for the activities planned, and that the different subcommittees stick to that budget.
· This subcommittee can also take on a fundraising task to support some of the activities planned.

12. Art/Exhibition Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Creating an art exhibition that fits in with the themes of the exhibition.
· Designing any posters or brochures that need to be created.

13. Music Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· A musical presentation at the launch of the exhibition, or later while the exhibition is displayed.

14. Launch Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Organizing the launch of the exhibition
- a launch is a perfect way to attract publicity. The launch needs to include various components, such as talks, a reception, music, etc.

15. Web/Internet Committee
This Committee is responsible for:
· Initially researching on the internet what other schools have done in the area of Holocaust, Human Rights, Intercultural Education. This information is given to the Organizational Commitee.
· Once the project is underway this subcommittee links up with the press and publicity committee to put information on-line, send press releases, etc.
