ANTISEMITISM: UNDERSTANDING AND COUNTERING THIS HATRED TODAY (DAY 1 OF 3)

Read the news and it is clear: antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a hatred the world struggles with today. It is important that educators have the resources and tools to feel prepared to talk about contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and hate with students. This learning opportunity explores classroom materials to support effective teaching of contemporary antisemitism, its global reach, and its expression in the form of hate speech, violence, denial, and distortion of the Holocaust. Educators will also explore ways to support students’ commitment and ability to actively respond to and prevent antisemitism and other forms of prejudice in their communities.

This professional development program is the first of a three-part series on Antisemitism, hosted by the Institute of Curriculum Services and Echoes & Reflections. REGISTRANTS MUST BE U.S./CANADA BASED EDUCATORS ONLY. Participants must attend Days 1 and 2 to participate in Day 3, where we will be joined by Holocaust survivor Michael Bornstein and his daughter Debbie Holinstat.
