Mediterranean basin program (mbp):through its mediterranean basin program (mbp), the auschwitz institute for the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities (aipg) provides education, specialized training, and technical assistance to policymakers, civil society leaders, and academic experts throughout southeastern europe. Coordinated from bucharest, romania, aipg's activities in this region are carefully designed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge, tools, and networking capacities to develop and implement effective strategies and policies for preventing identity-based violence.the global raphael lemkin seminar for genocide prevention, which is organized by aipg's mbp, is one of the organization's main pillars of work. The seminar is organized in partnership with the auschwitz-birkenau state museum and the un's joint office of special advisers on genocide prevention and the responsibility to protect. Each week-long program brings together twenty to twenty-five government officials from at least fifteen states ranging from at-risk, in-crisis, and post-conflict states, to donor countries and those currently inactive in the international human rights arena. The seminar welcomes participants who have professional responsibilities in relevant areas, including atrocity prevention, human rights, and international criminal justice, among others. Through the "power of place," we provide our participants with the opportunity to make a personal investment and commitment to the field of genocide prevention. Aipg has learned from previous experience that only when there is this emotional connection does the motivation to act stay with our participants when they return home.

Africa program office (apo):through its africa programs office, the auschwitz institute for the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities (aipg) designs and delivers an array of training and capacity-building programs that familiarize african state officials and civil society leaders with the necessary knowledge and skills to prevent genocide and other mass atrocities. Aipg believes that the development and implementation of effective preventive mechanisms will sustainably curb future conflict across the african continent. To this end, aipg's apo works directly with governments to develop and implement prevention projects at regional, national, and community levels and is instrumental in encouraging and facilitating the cooperation of states through regional and international networks to advance prevention. The goal of aipg's africa programs office is to provide in-depth genocide and mass atrocity prevention education, training, and technical assistance that reflects the latest concepts and strategies developed by authorities in the field. The apo accomplishes this by organizing in-person and virtual seminars, and by producing tools, such as resource manuals, to familiarize leaders and other key stakeholders with the concepts of genocide and mass atrocities, the processes by which they occur, and the methods for their prevention.latin america program (lap):the latin america program works to advance the mission of the auschwitz institute for the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities (aipg) by providing education, training, and technical assistance to government officials including national armed forces and other security sector actors, policymakers, civil society leaders, and academic experts in the region. The lap operates with the objective of advancing policy initiatives and projects that strengthen democratic principles and institutions, making them accessible to minority and marginalized communities across latin america. Coordinated from its office in buenos aires, argentina, aipg's lap develops and supports the implementation of programming that incorporates atrocity prevention into educational policies, anti-discrimination initiatives, and human rights agendas, as well as other regional, national, and local measures that protect vulnerable populations. The priorities of the latin america program are reflected in its capacity-building initiatives, which work to fight against discrimination, protect vulnerable groups, and advance measures related to the essential roles played by memory, truth, and justice in the prevention of mass atrocities in the region. These priorities underscore the program's thematic focus areas, including the defense of indigenous peoples and lgbti+ communities, migratory and refugee populations, as well as the role of armed and security forces and education within the general framework of preventive policies.warren educational policies program (wepp):taking a long-term or "upstream" prevention perspective, the warren educational policies program contributes to aipg's global mission by collaborating with a diverse range of educational stakeholders from those at the national level to those in civil society in order to develop projects that contribute to educating younger generations on the importance of combatting prejudice, hatred, and discrimination to prevent genocide and mass atrocities.the experience built over the course of the previous seven years of programming has been fundamental to the wepp's development of a working methodology that is built on the premise that educational projects with a preventive aim have to be locally driven and locally developed. To this end, the wepp invests significant efforts in establishing relationships with a variety of actors including practitioners, policymakers, and researchers who are working on similar educational agendas, as well as those from complementary fields, such as human rights and citizenship education, peace education, holocaust education, and memory education. Whether through direct cooperation, participation in multilateral networks, collaborative projects, or research initiatives, aipg seeks to foster an active exchange of knowledge and experiences on the most effective ways in which educational programming can contribute to the achievement of specific prevention objectives and to develop durable partnerships with organizations working towards similar goals.since 2016, the program has trained over 3,450 teachers and involved approximately 103,620 students from brazil, ecuador, el salvador, and paraguay.
