From the seminar website:
"Summer Seminars for School Teachers are offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities to provide teachers an opportunity for substantive study of significant humanities ideas and texts. These study opportunities are especially designed for this program and are not intended to duplicate courses normally offered by graduate programs. On completion of a seminar or institute, participants will receive a certificate indicating their participation . . ."
"A seminar for school teachers enables 16 participants to explore a topic or set of readings with a scholar having special interest and expertise in the field. The core material of the seminar need not relate directly to the school curriculum; the principal goal of the seminar is to engage teachers in the scholarly enterprise and to expand and deepen their understanding of the humanities through reading, discussion, writing, and reflection."
Specifics on the texts and scope of this seminar are not yet available.

"How can educators use history to help inform students about the treatment of gays and lesbians in the past and today, and how are schools responding to name-calling, bullying, ostracism, and outright violence against this community? In this session, participants will look at examples from history, including the treatment of homosexuals under the Nazi regime and during the civil rights movement."

"Join us as we explore the history of voting in the United States with a special emphasis on the gains and struggles during the civil rights movement. We will showcase Facing History resources that examine the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Selma March, voter registration drives, the role of non-violent protest and more. We will also investigate the impact of youth in the movement and their role in politics then and now."
From the Facing History and Ourselves website:
"This film [The Reckoning] chronicles the battle for the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to mass atrocities around the world in the late 20th century. The Reckoning follows ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years across the four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system, and charges Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. This film is an important addition to Facing History's collection of classroom resources that deal with questions of justice after genocide.
The workshop is in two parts. Part 1 (4:30-6:30 pm) will be an educator workshop focused on pedagogy. Part 2 (7:00-9:00 pm) will include the film presentation. A light dinner will be served between the two parts."

From the Facing History and Ourselves website:
"Facing History and Ourselves materials help students understand the steps that have led to genocide and collective violence. After confronting these histories, students are often hungry to explore questions of justice and respect for human rights.
We are eager to bring the Facing History and Ourselves network together to share best practices and new resources that look at issues of justice and human rights in the present day. Seeking Common Ground, the Colorado Coalition for Genocide Awareness and Action, and others will share resources and insights, along with an array of new and exciting resources from the Facing History library."
