Their stories offer educators a powerful entry point for teaching difficult histories, helping students widen their historical lens. Led by USC Shoah Foundation’s Learning and Development Specialist, Raquel Diaz Serralta, this session for upper-primary educators (4th-6th grades) focuses on strategies for teaching difficult histories. Participants will explore how story, music, and testimony can foster curiosity and compassion while maintaining emotional safety. Drawing on examples from The Willesden Project and informed by the pedagogical framework developed by Echoes & Reflections, the session highlights adaptable classroom practices and digital tools that support reflection, inquiry, and age-appropriate dialogue about resistance, migration, and memory.
