Teaching the Armenian Genocide with Film and Testimony

This workshop invites middle and high school educators to learn best practices for teaching film with audiovisual testimony of survivors and witnesses of the Armenian Genocide using multimedia resources across IWitness to contextualize key themes and events addressed in the film The Promise.

Educators will also have the opportunity to meet a special guest, Dr. Carla Garapedian, Associate Producer ofThe Promise, who will provide a closer look at the production ofThe Promise and the inspiration behind several scenes of the film.

By the end of this workshop, educators will recognize the value of using primary and secondary sources to cultivate student empathy, spark historical inquiry and empower civic agency.
