The Rwandan Genocide was carried out in the east-central African nation of Rwanda between April-July 1994. Between 800,000 and 1 million people were killed during this 100-day period.
MCHE offers this interactive workshop for teachers to gain basic knowledge of the history of the Rwandan Genocide, explore some of the challenges, benefits, and best practices for teaching about this event within curriculum about genocide, war, and/or human rights in the 20th Century.
This event will be co-taught by MCHE Content Specialist Dr. Melissa Karp and member of the Isak Federman Holocaust Teaching Cadre Jenny Buchanan.
Event is limited to teachers. Registration is required.
Our mission is to teach the history of the Holocaust, applying its lessons to counter indifference, intolerance, and genocide.
