This year Holocaust Memorial Day 2014 will be commemorated in Scotland on Monday 27th January and Glow is pleased to be able to bring teachers and learners across the country a number of unique and innovative opportunities to discover and share more about this important period in history.

The Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) ‘Journeys’ Learning Experience is a collaborative space to share what your school is doing for HMD 2014 and take part in learner activities.

We will be providing interactive opportunities for learners across the country to participate in events and learn more about the Holocaust via the new Glow environment.

The learning experience is aimed at upper primary and secondary learners and will include a number of learning starters and a Holocaust discussion newsfeed to share what your schools are doing to commemorate the event. Videos and audio content and a number of learner challenges will be available to help you learn more about the history of the times surrounding these events.

To help support practitioners, curriculum documents will be provided with the learning experience.

Visit the Learning Experience today.

Viewers will also hear from pupils at Broughton High School who also visited Auschwitz last year.

There will be an opportunity to ask them your own questions during the event and learn more about their experiences when they were there.

For more information and to get involved, visit Glow TV.

The Holocaust was a very important period in history and every year it is commemorated in January through the Holocaust Memorial Day.

In this Glow TV event find out when these events took place, what actually happened and who was involved.

In addition we will also look at how similar events have taken place since then throughout history and how it has affected the survivors.

The Scottish National Holocaust Memorial Day 2014 event will be broadcast live across Scotland through Glow.

The MacRobert Centre in Stirling will welcome Holocaust survivor Alfred Munzer and Cambodian genocide survivor Arn Chorn Pond.

The event starts at 6.30pm and the 2 hour programme will be filled with performances carried out by the Roma community and Rwandan community to make this a memorable and moving event.

Information on how to take part can be found on Glow TV. If this time isn’t suitable, you will have the opportunity to Watch Again.

As part of HMD 2014, survivors of the Holocaust and genocide are visiting schools in Scotland.

On 28th January Holocaust survivor Albert Munzer will be visiting the Glasgow Gaelic School and Glow TV will be there to broadcast the event to schools across Scotland.

Join us to hear Albert’s experiences and ask him questions about his life.

Glasgow City Chambers will once again host this live event through Glow for schools across Scotland.  This special broadcast, taking place from 10am, is run by young people for young people and the event is handed entirely over to pupils to develop the programme and broadcast the event.

Find out more in the Glow TV events schedule.

There will be opportunities to join with pupils around Scotland in several national HMD 2014 events including an arts response challenge with Cambodian genocide survivor, flautist and human rights activist Arn Chorn Pond.

On the day, schools from around Scotland will share their response to the theme of HMD 2014 – Journeys in the form of music, drama, poetry and more.
