Educators use Facing History and Ourselves resources and methods to teach civics, humanities, history, and English Language Arts courses as well as subjects specific to their national curricula, and students participate in Facing History and Ourselves courses which support their civic and ethical development.
With our partners, we have:

- convened global summits with education leaders on pressing topics, including democracy and education, facing the violent past and its legacies, and transitional justice.
- led research and written extensively on adolescent civic development in divided societies and the role of education in transitional justice.
- launched country-wide civil society programs to confront identity-based hatred, including racism, antisemitism, and homophobia.
- supported system-wide and whole school work to create racially equitable, inclusive, and just learning environments.
- worked with intergovernmental organizations to address global citizenship, Holocaust education, antisemitism, countering violent extremism, and facing the violent past through history education.
