The experience consists of:
• Age-appropriate Guided Museum Experience to explore themes such as the power of words and images, lessons from history, personal responsibility, and "making a difference"
• Interactive Personal Testimony Session with a Holocaust Survivor
• Buffet Lunch
• Time for Personal and Group Reflection
Expanded Program (Eight Hours):
You may choose one of the following 2-hour modules, for an additional fee, to enhance the learning of the standard program content:
Additional Speakers and Dramatic Performances: Dynamic personal testimony presentations or theatrical presentations can be arranged that advance understanding about key historical and contemporary issues such as; Civil Rights, Hate Crime, the legacy of Cesar Chavez, and Japanese Internment
Youth Violence Prevention: Experienced facilitators engage students in dialogue on gender violence, bullying, and harassment using the acclaimed Mentors for Violence Prevention (MVP) model. In a creative "bystander"; approach, the model uses real life scenarios that speak to the experiences of middle and high school students. The workshop raises student awareness of the experiences of others, broadens options for alternatives to violence, and empowers students to undertake effective interventions
Arts Based Activities: Students are guided through hands-on creative activities, such as print-making, symbolic representation, or pictographs, in individual and group exercises that enable them to reflect on the Museum experience, explore personal assumptions and biases, express aspirations, and expand their repertoire and understanding of the power of symbolic imagery.
