The Genocide Education Project concluded a series of workshops over
the last two months targeting junior high and high school students
and teachers throughout California. Developed by a team of educators,
Sara Cohan, Armen Sedrakian, and Hasmig Tateossian, the interactive
workshops provided a vehicle for students and teachers to learn
about the Armenian Genocide in more depth, and also how it relates
to current human rights issues.
"Genocide education is imperative, especially at a time when such a
crime is not just a historical reality, but is part of our contemporary
reality as seen in Darfur," said Raffi Momjian, the Executive Director
of the organization. "The opportunity to work directly with students
and teachers over the last few months was truly rewarding, as their
passion for the subject was palpable in all the workshops."
