This workshop will introduce two Holocaust related books: Anton the Dove Fancier and Parallel Journeys. In addition to connecting the content of these books to the Facing History themes of identity, membership, and conformity, facilitators will demonstrate concrete literacy strategies which teachers can implement in their classrooms.

How do societies integrate newcomers? In this workshop, participants will engage with stories of Muslim immigration to Europe and make connections to debates about difference in their own community. Among the many topics they will examine is the role of religion in public life. This workshop is specifically designed for high school teachers who are teaching the Facing History and Ourselves Semester Elective. In this one-day workshop, teachers will unite with other elective teachers to share best practices, discuss challenges, and celebrate triumphs. The agenda is designed to address both content and pedagogy.

In conjunction with Facing History's content and themes of rescue during the Holocaust, participants will deepen their understanding of the ways one person can make a difference. The workshop will feature the documentary Blessed is the Match, one of Facing History's latest resources that tells the story of Hannah Senesh, the World War II-era poet and diarist who became a soldier, martyr, and national heroine in Israel.

This workshop, using the Facing History and Ourselves resource books Race and Membership and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's exhibit "Race: Are We So Different?," will examine questions of race and identity and their impact on American history. Participants will view the exhibit in addition to examining themes and classroom applications.

This two-day workshop will explore ways to teach the Holocaust through the lens of literature using fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short stories, diaries, and memoir.

This workshop will explore the history of immigration, race, and citizenship in the United States through the use of Facing History and Ourselves's resources and pedagogical framework. What does it mean to become an American? How have immigrants fought for rights and claimed ownership of their own American identities? The workshop will focus on specific events in U.S. and world history that shaped U.S. immigration policies and affected the lives of immigrants.

What difficult choices confront individuals, groups, and nations in the face of genocide? What dangers does everyone face when nations do not confront history? Participants can learn ways of integrating Facing History's newest resource kit, Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians, into their curriculum. This is a multimedia resource for teachers which includes a resource book and companion DVD, lesson plans, and two documentary DVDs.

This two-day workshop will explore how beliefs about race have shaped—and challenged—American's identity as a land of "freedom and opportunity." It will look at significant events and movements in American history—slavery, immigration, the eugenics movement, the Civil Rights Movement—and will consider legacies of each in American society today. Ultimately, this journey will bring participants back to the present. Examining American history through the lens of race and membership empowers teachers and their students to value how their choices shape contemporary America. Participants will receive a resource book and membership in the Facing History and Ourselves Teacher Network.

Highlighting two resources from Facing History's "Making History" series, this workshop will reflect on Raphael Lemkin's tireless efforts to, in response to the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, define and outlaw genocide. They will also examine the story of a group of women in Chile whose brightly colored tapestries, or arpilleras, played a leading role in the nonviolent movement for human rights during Pinochet's rule from 1973–1990.
