SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Lessons and Legacies of the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Lessons & Legacies of the Holocaust Thursday\, October 13 at 2 p.m.\nBy Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies \n“The Holocaust is not just a Jewish story\, but a human story.” Explore the history of the Holocaust and the attitudes and social forces that enabled one of the darkest periods of human history to occur. \n​Presenter: Elena Kingsbury \nElena Kingsbury has been an educator with FSWC for the past 4.5 years and has taught thousands of students across Ontario – in classrooms and auditoriums\, at our Centre\, and on the award-winning Tour for Humanity mobile classroom. Elena loves to teach individuals of all backgrounds and abilities and has helped develop many workshops and FSWC events including Freedom Day\, Speaker’s Idol\, and our National Policy Conference on Holocaust Education. In January 2020\, Elena relocated to our nation’s capital and has opened a new access point to FSWC programming in Ottawa and the surrounding communities of Eastern Ontario. Her love of history and curiosity about the wider world began at a very early age. As a child\, the majority of Jewish people she knew were survivors like her maternal grandparents who escaped Prague for Denmark in 1939. This personal connection started Elena on an academic path that would lead her to Montreal and McGill University where she completed her M.A. in History in 2014.

SUMMARY:Topic: Empathy\, Equity and Diversity—from a lens of Hate and Discrimination
DESCRIPTION:This session will use the message of P.E.A.C.E. (People Everywhere Actually Coexisting Equally) as a springboard for conversation.

During this session participants will be challenged to:\n• Acknowledge their own biases\n• Be open to uncomfortable conversations\n• Share their feelings and experiences honestly\n• Set goals for breaking negative patterns in their lives\n• Express their emotions in a creative format\n• Become more empathetic \nMatthew Jones\nMatthew Jones also known as “Testament” is a connoisseur of anything and everything involving words. From poetry\, spoken word and emceeing to facilitating\, hosting and keynoting\, Testament has been using his natural speaking abilities to inspire audiences for over 15 years.

SUMMARY:Racism in Canada by Sam Tecle
DESCRIPTION:In this free online session\, participants will learn about the history of racism writ large in Canada and specifically the history of anti-black racism. \n*How does racism work in the Canadian context and how does it specifically play out in our communities?\n*What does anti-black racism cost us as a community? \nThis session will be an active\, participatory\, and engaging presentation. (Recommended for ages 13+) \nAbout Sam Tecle \nSam Tecle’s research and scholarly work spans across the areas of Black and Diaspora Studies\, Urban Studies\, and Sociology of Education. His work focuses on the analysis of diverse experiences\, trajectories and expressions of Blackness\, grounded in particular histories of racialization\, colonialism\, community formation and resistance. His forthcoming work Black Grammars: On Difference and Belonging explores the experiences and perspectives relating to blackness and Black identification of East African Diasporas across the UK\, Canada and the US. More broadly\, Sam is interested in questions of Black Sociality\, Black cultural production and its expressions across the diaspora. \nHis research and teaching draws on his deep experience in community-engaged work\, focused largely on Blackness and educational settings in Toronto. This community-engaged work has been conducted in partnership with organizations to create new supports and opportunities for Black students at the secondary level and in the transition to post-secondary education\, in the face of a variety of systemic barriers they encounter. He has particularly prioritized work with Success Beyond Limits\, a program serving students in the Jane and Finch community.
