TOLI TEACHER PROGRAMS 2023: TWELVE ACROSS THE US, TEN IN EUROPE

Across the US and Europe, 500 teachers took part in TOLI seminars this year, each benefiting from a week of professional development in Holocaust education.

Stay tuned for information on our 2024 programming.

SEMINARS IN THE UNITED STATES

“By far the TOLI seminar impacted me personally and professionally more than any other program I have ever attended in my 20-year teaching career.”

 

These words, from an Idaho teacher, were echoed throughout the US this summer in professional development seminars TOLI offered in the following states: California, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

 

Many of the 200 educators who took part in our domestic programs are on the front lines of the culture battles playing out around the country which is having a severe impact in their classrooms. Deeply appreciative of the support TOLI is providing them through these seminars and throughout the year, they are now better equipped to guide their students in making connections between past injustices and the present moment.

 

We thank our dedicated national faculty, regional seminar leaders and all the amazing educators for their dedication to this vitally important work. We are proud to have this new cohort join the over 4,000 educators now in the global TOLI network.

 

SEMINARS IN EUROPE

With programs in nine countries in Europe this year, attended by nearly 300 teachers, TOLI is in the forefront of providing Holocaust education on the continent. Since 2012, TOLI has conducted over 50 seminars for teachers in Europe. This year Spain joined the TOLI network, first with a teachers seminar in Valencia and later, in December, with a multinational conference also to be held in Valencia.

 

Other countries where TOLI runs programs in Europe include Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Serbia. The newest offering among the international seminars will be in Croatia in November.

 

Through these programs, TOLI supports teachers to put in practice what they learn in the seminar and work with their students in meaningful ways. Many teachers follow up during the school year with impact grants awarded for student projects concerning the Holocaust, human rights and Jewish heritage in their towns and cities.

The grants, ranging from $250-$500, support research, field trips, and multimedia projects.
