Halifax: Professional Development Day for Educators
Best Practices in Holocaust Education
Information on session speakers:
We are honoured to host Alex Maws, an international expert from the United Kingdom with over 20 years of experience. As the Head of Education and Heritage at the Association of Jewish Refugees, London, UK, Alex champions and evaluates programs across the UK. Alex partners with UNESCO and other international organizations to train educators and policy makers globally on issues relating to the Holocaust and antisemitism. He is a current member of the UK delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
Jody Spiegel, Director, Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program, The Azrieli Foundation, Toronto, and a current member of the Canadian delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, joins the session to provide classroom resources and information on trauma-informed teaching and best practices in Holocaust education.
Given the importance of addressing antisemitism and equipping educators with the knowledge and resources to do so effectively, our hope is that this session will strengthen our commitment to fostering understanding, inclusivity, and historical awareness.
