Join us for an enlightening online conference for teachers featuring a keynote address by Professor Sam Wineburg of Stanford University. This event will delve into the pressing issues emerging from the Centre’s most recent research and will be useful to classroom practitioners and pastoral leads. These include online disinformation, Holocaust denial and the complexities of teaching potentially traumatic history with vulnerable students. The conference will feature speakers from academia, the Holocaust education field and veteran teachers to discuss these challenging issues and share best practice.
