We're very pleased to announce the second Student-docent Training Workshop from 3:00 to 4:30, at the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In this workshop for high school and university students, we will offer a training session for students interested in learning how to lead their student peers through the Institute’s permanent Holocaust teaching exhibition, “A Reason to Remember: Roth, Germany, 1933-1942." This workshop will introduce students to the exhibition and its origins and will encourage further study and training in order to become student tour facilitators.

Upon completing the session, students will receive a certificate of completion and an invitation to bring their classes and teachers back to the Institute for a tour. Students who earn the certificate should contact their school administrators about receiving credit toward community service.

This workshop is free of charge, and light refreshments will be served. For inquiries and registration, please call 413.835.0221 or send an e-mail to ihgms@acad.umass.edu.
