Progetto  Crocus  2026/27

21 settembre 2026

Dear Holocaust Education Ireland team,
I am writing from Italy about the Crocus Project.

We took part in the Crocus Project several years ago, when I was a
teacher at a lower secondary school in Bernareggio, near Milan. Since
then, every year we have continued to buy and plant new yellow crocus
bulbs, to keep the project alive and, above all, to keep the memory it
represents alive.
I am now retired from teaching, but the project did not stop when I left  the school. It continued, moving from the school into the local community.

Today I am involved in GreenBit – Lab Ambulante, a community project  that grew out of our experiences at school and now continues to involve  young people and local organisations.
We would very much like to continue our experience with the Crocus
Project and, year after year, keep what has become for us a true “Crocus  spiral” alive.

I recently saw your post about the Crocus Project and I would like to
ask whether it would be possible for our group in Italy to take part in
the project again and to order/receive the bulbs through you for 2026/27.
It would be very meaningful for us to continue this small but important  journey of remembrance and to keep our connection with the Crocus Project.

 Could you please let us know whether it is possible for us to
participate as a community group, and how we should register?

Thank you very much for your work and for keeping this project alive.
Kind regards,
