What does this webinar cover?

Join this free webinar to learn about the work of two Holocaust Education charities, Generation 2 Generation (G2G) and Northern Holocaust Education Group (NHEG), which provide accredited speakers to schools and other organisations across the UK throughout the year. G2G and NHEG speakers share their own families’ Holocaust/Nazi persecution stories and experiences using eyewitness testimony.

  • How is the webinar structured and delivered?

    In this live webinar, participants will watch one presentation and see a couple of excerpts from different experiences. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.

  • Who is the webinar aimed at?

    The webinar is aimed at teachers of Years 6 to 13. NHEG and G2G speakers cover all ages and stages and ensure that presentations are age-appropriate, historically accurate, high quality and engaging.

  • What are the learning outcomes?

    In this webinar, you will gain an understanding of resources to support teaching of Holocaust/Nazi persecution available through G2G and NHEG. These resources will support you to:

    • - Gain a better understanding for your students and staff of the Holocaust/Nazi persecution
    • - Make sense of what actually happened to individuals
    • - Address hatred, discrimination and persecution
