A Major Educational program is aimed at senior primary and high school students years 5-12 .
The program has been developed by professional educators , with "Living in Harmony" workshops and experiential learning, focussing on contemporary issues of discrimination, racism, bullying and antisemitism. For the education program we draw on a pool of over 60 highly-qualified people, including teachers, psychologists, academics and social workers.
Participation
Entry to the exhibition and associated workshops is free of charge . To encourage attendance by as many students as possible, Courage to Care covers the transport costs for public and Catholic High Schools to visit the exhibition.
Resource Material
Supporting the education component, a manual of resource materials is distributed to all schools participating in Courage to Care, to enable teachers to undertake follow-up programs. Principals are consulted about local issues and these issues are incorporated into the resource material.
"Paper clips" The movie every teacher and student should see.
The documentary film made about a school that collected 6,000,000 paper clips to represent the six million jews murdered by the Nazis during World War 2. It started as a project because the students could not relate to the number of six million people.
