Why do some commit genocide and others risk their lives to prevent it? ‘Being Human?’ a free evening event in Birmingham on Thursday 5th February will explore how you can make these challenging questions accessible to young people in your classroom.

• effective classroom approaches
• free teaching and learning resources
• food and wine reception

Even before they begin to study the Holocaust many pupils have well formed (but largely inaccurate) ideas about how it happened: strongly-held beliefs about the kinds of people who killed, those who ‘stood-by’, and those who tried to help.  This practical workshop models powerful teaching resources that:

• engage your pupils, emotionally and intellectually
• challenge their thinking
• deepen their historical understanding
• raise profound questions about the world and about human behaviour
• help make your SMSC outstanding

Programme:

• 17:00 – Registration, tea and coffee
• 17:15  – ‘Being Human?’ workshop
• 19:15 –  Food and wine reception

Workshop led by: Paul Salmons Programme Director Centre for Holocaust Education Institute of Education Venue: Central Birmingham location The Birmingham workshop is now full. Please check our website for other dates and locations.
