GenEd made its biggest impact ever at this year’s conference of the National Council for the Social Studies
Nov. 16-19, in San Francisco
- “The Fundamentals of Genocide and the Armenian Case”: A full-day workshop at SF’s historic Vaspouragan Hall, including Armenian lunch, and church tour
Teachers that attended said about the pre-clinic workshop:
“Anytime I attend a Genocide Education Project seminar, I walk away with loads of new information, and more importantly, I leave inspired to make my “genocide unit” much better for my students. The resource materials and teacher suggestions were invaluable.”
Barb Nagel, Social Studies Dept. Director, Alberta, Canada
[What was most beneficial?] “All of it, but mostly, the opportunity to listen and learn from folks who are living heritage and recovering their story. This was so powerful. Thank you!” Steve Perez, Hanford, CA
“Thank you so much. This was excellent!”
Beth Hudson, Social Studies Specialist, Austin, TX
- Journey from Despair to Hope: The Armenian-American Experience : A two-hour workshop examining the experiences of Armenian Genocide survivors and their immigration to the United States
