The Genocide Education Project offers secondary school social studies and English teachers an opportunity to apply for The GenEd Teacher Fellowship Program.
Launched in 2022 through a unique partnership with the Armenian Genocide Museum and Institute (AGMI), the program combines GenEd’s expertise in training high school educators with AGMI’s unique role in Armenian Genocide remembrance and research, including its in-depth museum exhibits, collection of primary source documents and artifacts, and its ongoing scholarship on the genocide and its aftermath, including continuing effects today.
