IVLP Impact Award Project: Empowering Teachers in Limpopo South Africa to Teach about Racism, ‘Othering’ and Genocide

This project educated social sciences and history teachers in South Africa on how to teach about the Holocaust and genocide histories and encourage dialogue about race, racism, othering and discrimination, while making connections to South African and global issues. Ninety teachers from the Limpopo province in South Africa participated in a two-day workshop and were trained on how to approach teaching the subjects of the Holocaust and genocide, using them address to race and racism within South African society.
