CLASSES + WORKSHOPS

This fall, Holocaust Museum Houston hosts two new exhibits that address the intersection of religions: “A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People” and “Besa: Muslims Who Saved Jews During the Holocaust.”

This one-day teacher training The Intersection of Three World Religions will focus on the intersection of religions and the power that can rest there. During the day, participants will consider how Judaism, Christianity and Islam intersected during the Holocaust, tour the two exhibits, consider the impact and universal nature of “the Golden Rule,” and make connections between content learned during the day and the TEKS requirements respective to their classrooms.

The workshop is intended for teachers interested in learning more about world religions and where they intersect, but especially for grade 6 and world history teachers. Participants will need to provide their own lunch, but otherwise there is no cost to attend this program.
