We invite you to join us for an important conversation with Facing History and Ourselves, the New-York Historical Society, and human rights activist John Prendergast during Genocide Awareness month, as we explore the recent history of anti-genocide and anti-atrocity activism. We will discuss genocide education in our classrooms, what our students need to know about it, and how young people can get involved in the struggle to prevent genocide.

Join the JFCS Holocaust Center and Facing History and Ourselves to explore frameworks, resources, and teaching strategies that empower students and educators to identify and address the “we and they” dynamics caused by racism, antisemitism, and nationalism.

This workshop is geared towards educators grades 6-12.

Designed for K-12 students and teachers, each webinar features Indigenous ROM educators and guest speakers as they highlight distinct ancestral objects, share stories, and offer arts-based activities that celebrate living Indigenous cultures.

Connect with other teachers whilst gaining ideas on how to plan a religious studies curriculum using Facing History and Ourselves’ resources.

This event is aimed at teachers in the UK.

Explore frameworks, resources, and teaching strategies that empower students to envision the ways that they themselves might contribute to the process of creating a more humane, just, and compassionate world. Using Facing History’s pedagogical approach, participants will consider how our memory and understanding of history inspires and guides our choices in the world today.

In today’s world, questions of how to best build and maintain democratic societies that are pluralistic, open, and resilient to violence are more relevant than ever. Studying the Holocaust using Facing History’s approach allows students to wrestle with profound moral questions raised by this history and fosters their skills in ethical reasoning, critical thinking, empathy, and civic engagement—all of which are critical for sustaining democracy. This course features Holocaust and Human Behavior and is intended for educators.
