Public
Engagement
The Center's main activities will include programs that support the following Northern Kentucky University Core Values. Specifically, the Center will promote
-
Public Engagement through sponsorship of traveling exhibits, a lecture series, and eventually a speaker's bureau
-
Learner-Centered Education by providing faculty, students, and community members with a lending library and free access to all types of resources; supplying teachers with age-appropriate materials and training; offering in-school programs and activities for grades 5-12
-
Multiculturalism by promoting open dialogue and interpretations of the complex cultural, historical, political, and philosophical issues connected with Holocaust studies
-
Innovation and Creativity by supporting university-level courses in the humanities, the Institute for Freedom Studies, the Honors Program, and Women's Studies that encourage students to explore the Holocaust's significance through interdisciplinary approaches
Center programs will emphasize teacher
training and professional development through workshops conducted by
experts in Holocaust education
as well as curricula created by numerous state councils on Holocaust
education and foundations for Holocaust research. Faculty from the Northern
Kentucky University College of Education, particularly those involved
with pre-service teachers in language arts and social studies, are available
to contribute their expertise.
The Center also will engage in community partnerships, particularly with the Northern Kentucky Interfaith Commission and The Holocaust and Humanity Center at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, as well as the Association of Holocaust Organizations, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
