Learning from the past, tackling prejudice and extremism today

A Panel Discussion on approaches to increasing young peoples’ resistance to prejudice and extremism

Protection Approaches and Survivors Tribune are delighted to invite you to a panel discussion hosted and chaired by Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust issues, Sir Eric Pickles, to mark the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime.

This timely discussion will see our panel of experts and practitioners discuss approaches to increasing young peoples’ resistance to such processes. Focusing on the use of genocide survivor testimony in school environments to engage students on an emotional level with these difficult issues the speakers will look at methods of teaching students how to identify and reject scapegoating, fearmongering, misrepresentation, dehumanisation, and hate speech.

The event will also mark the launch of a partnership between Protection Approaches and Survivors Tribune to bring a comprehensive prejudice and extremism prevention programme to UK schools.
