Once again, the Montana Writing Project is teaming up with New York City’s Holocaust Memorial Library to host Worlds Apart
But Not Strangers: Holocaust Education and Indian Education for All.
The workshop will be held in Missoula from July 19-July 25,
2015.
This institute is designed for individuals who currently teach or are
interested in teaching the Nazi
Holocaust and/or Indian Education
for All, and would like to discover ways to make connections between these topics. Relevant to teachers grades 4-12
as well as college and university faculty, the purpose of the course is to
provide novice and experienced teachers with knowledge about and teaching
strategies for Holocaust Education, Indian Education for All and community building, using literacy, and
especially writing, as tools to drive inquiry.
The institute will focus on past history, including the Nazi
Holocaust and the impact of U.S. policies on Native peoples of our nation. Participants will then turn to the present,
as they consider the roles (target, perpetrator, ally, bystander) people choose
in their daily interactions with each other as well as the stereotypes and
prejudice affecting schools and communities today.
Due to the generous support of the
Memorial Library, Worlds Apart is
offered at no cost to teachers. However, the workshop is intensive and includes events during
a 9-4 day and most evenings.
** Three University of Montana
credits are available for the $135
cost of the recording fee. Participants will be responsible for travel and
housing costs, but many meals will be provided and dorm space will be
available.
