The 2022 NEH Summer Institute at Seton Hill University provides Educators grades 6-12 with the resources they need to deepen their students’ understanding of genocide. In addition to broadening their knowledge of historical and contemporary conflicts, participants will also learn how to integrate testimony-based pedagogy with digital literacy to develop their students’ critical thinking skills and foster their empathy for others.

During a series of workshops, participants will develop interdisciplinary learning activities for their students that range from self-directed web and information quests to more immersive arts-based archival research projects, including sound collages and video essays, which can be incorporated across the curriculum.

Participants will be encouraged to present their curricular projects on the final day of the institute at an open gallery session in collaboration with experts in Genocide Education.
