At this community forum, participants will explore together how to best prepare young people to learn about the history of the Holocaust and the ongoing practice of genocide in the world today.
Topics of discussion include:
- What are the implications of using art to teach history?
- What are the ethics involved in teaching and learning about traumatic events?
- What is the role of the teacher in fostering inquiry into difficult subjects?
- What place to memory and memorializing have in Holocaust education, particularly in a Canadian context?
Light refreshments will be provided, this event is free of charge but space is limited.
