Bridges of Memory: Connecting Communities and Classrooms
Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies University of Minnesota presents series of community dialogues and virtual educator workshops to learn about genocides from the experiences and perspectives of local survivors and survivor communities. Topics will include the Armenian Genocide, Holodomor, Holocaust, and Cambodian Genocide, as well as a focus on how individuals and communities share stories of loss and survival, navigate trauma, memorialize victims, preserve and celebrate culture, and educate younger generations. Each of the four sessions, offered in partnership with a community organization, will feature a moderated conversation with a member of a survivor community followed by a question and answer session with participants. The series will conclude with three workshops specifically aimed at educators to discuss teaching about difficult histories and navigate trauma in school and community education settings.
Though we encourage you to join us for the complete series of talks, each session will be a stand-alone conversation, and the discussions will be recorded and made available online. All sessions are free and open to any interested participants. CEUs will be available for educators. See the session schedule below for more information and registration links.
