OUR VISION FOR EDUCATION

The DHGC recognises the great influence and opportunity educators have, to bring about change through education. For this reason we have partnered with the KwaZulu-Natal Education Department since 2009 to run workshops across KZN to help equip and empower educators to teach the subject of the Holocaust in the classroom in line with the National Curriculum requirements.

The workshops support the development of a human rights culture through creating a classroom environment that encourages learning and compassion. Educator workshops are designed to develop the educator’s knowledge of the Holocaust and to give them support through helpful classroom methodologies as well as providing the socio-historical background to this history.
