Programme overview
The aim of the workshop is to explore how schools can engage in teaching about the Holocaust through the Scottish curriculum. By integrating teaching about the Holocaust holistically across our primary and secondary schools we can ensure that all pupils have the skills to examine a defining moment in human history which raises fundamental questions about human identity, behaviour and ethics. By broadening our approach across schools, we also ensure that S5/6 students taking part in the Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project have the prior knowledge to engage in advanced learning, and that teachers feel confident to support these students.
The Holocaust Educational Trust works in partnership with the School of Education at the University of the West of Scotland on the Vision Schools Scotland (VSS) programme which seeks to promote embedded, holistic teaching of the Holocaust across the curriculum. Through work with the VSS project, the Trust has provided CLPL opportunities to Scottish teachers including walking tours of Glasgow exploring the history of Scottish-Jewry and the many connections between the city and the Holocaust.
This workshop will introduce teachers to organisations working across Scotland to encourage consideration of how teaching resources, travelling exhibitions, site visits and walking tours can enhance our students learning, and support the Next Steps work of students taking part in the Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project.
