The “So What” of Interpreting Slavery with Young Audiences - Next Practices Virtual Summit - Day 1/ Session 3

Only available as part of a package

How do we encourage young audiences to connect to the country’s history of slavery, develop empathy for those who were enslaved, and find relevance in the history of slavery? This session will help education and interpretation staff gain skills to become confident and competent in using inquiry learning methods (including hands-on objects, activities, and documents) to inspire critical thinking and encourage compassionate, active citizenship.
