ESC: Anne Frank Youth Network 2025/2026

The Anne Frank House, established on 3 May 1957, is an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation of Anne Frank’s hiding place and her diaries, and to spreading the message of Anne Frank’s life and ideals worldwide. Annually the museum is visited by more than a million visitors. Based on Anne Frank’s life story, set against the background of the Holocaust and the Second World War, the Anne Frank House develops educational programmes and products for teachers, students and specific target groups to raise awareness of the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy. The Anne Frank House (70 FTE) operates internationally: travelling exhibitions about the life and times of Anne Frank are shown in more than 40 countries and teachers from all over the world make use of the online and offline materials. The Anne Frank exhibitions often lead to follow-up projects that are carried out by professionals and volunteers connected to partner organisations. The Anne Frank House maintains an international network of hundreds of young volunteers, the so-called 'Anne Frank Youth Network'. Its members are youngsters who have been active as guides in the travelling Anne Frank exhibition. They receive additional training that enables them to initiate and implement follow-up activities. The Network offers them the possibility to share these experiences with their peers in other countries.
