A thematic seminar that will interweave content related to both the Holocaust and present-day experiences of intolerance and persecution. The
seminar is inquiry-based, inviting teachers to acknowledge and incorporate the culture of their students into their curriculum and the broader
classroom experience. The program takes a writing based approach to Holocaust and social justice education.

Speakers and events will include:

This webinar, led by a facilitator from USC Shoah Foundation, will demonstrate the power of using audiovisual testimony to promote student learning, information and digital literacy, as well as critical thinking within the context of Holocaust curriculum. Participants will learn guidelines and instructional strategies for using audiovisual testimony found in Echoes & Reflections and the IWitness website.
