[hr-education] Space still available - Online Course: Facing History and Ourselves

Dear colleagues, 

There are still spaces available for Facing History and Ourselves' online
course for educators from all over the world. The course, "Facing History
and Ourselves: Holocaust and Human Behavior," runs from 22 March, 2007-16
May, 2007 and will explore Facing History's content, methodology, and
unique approach to teaching history.

Due to a generous grant from the Skirball Foundation, this course is free
to educators.

*** WE WILL ACCEPT APPLICATIONS THROUGH 9 MARCH. TO APPLY ONLINE, GO TO:  
http://www.facinghistory.org/OnlineCourseINTL ***

What can we learn about democracy from the violent history of a failed
democracy? About tolerance from horrific examples of neighbor turning
against neighbor? About moral courage from a society that stressed blind
obedience? Throughout Facing History and Ourselves' online course,
participants will work with Facing History resources and will be
encouraged to make connections to their own society and recognize
universal themes.

relevance in today´s world and an affirmation that I am on the right
path"

me as an educator and as a person is immense."

"This course has been emotionally challenging and intellectually
stimulating.... has pushed me to redirect many of my personal and
professional goals. It has begun a change in who I am as a person, which
will inevitably transform what I do in my classroom."
