FACING HISTORY AND OURSELVES 

Facing History & Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hatred. The curriculum resources and training combine academic rigour, emotional engagement and ethical reflection so that students learn to engage in civil discourse, learn critical thinking skills and develop civic agency to help create a more inclusive and empathetic society.
