USC Shoah Foundation records the testimonies of genocide survivors so the world will never forget their stories. Eighth-grade student Andrea Chang decided to do something similar for her community: document the stories of the elderly.
As part of the third-annual IWitness Video Challenge, Andrea created a video demonstrating her project, in which she spoke to the elderly and shared their stories. Her video, “Tell Me Your Story,” took third place in the national competition, landing her a $500 scholarship.
Nineteen educators gathered at Central European University Budapest the first weekend in July 2016 to share the activities they piloted in the classroom after being initiated into the Master Teacher program in Hungary last year.
