Teaching Genocide and Human Rights
July 23 - July 27, 2012

8:30am — 4:30pm, plus 2 evening sessions (Tuesday & Thursday)

Prerequisite: Participation in Holocaust Institute or 2+ years in Holocaust education

The Genocide and Human Rights Institute, a five-day intensive academic institute for teachers, will provide local, regional and national educators the tools, knowledge and materials to implement genocide and human rights education into language arts and social sciences curricula.

Using the lessons of the Holocaust, teachers will begin to understand the issues of human rights violations and genocides that have occurred in the 20th and 21st centuries, including but not limited to Armenia, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and atrocities in the Americas.

Teachers will learn this history firsthand through the testimonies of genocide survivors and renowned scholars. Each institute day will include historical perspectives, pedagogical breakout sessions, and methodological discussion.

• 30 CPDUs
• Graduate Credit: 3 semester hours available through Aurora University ($300)
