Virtual Resources for Educators
RECORDED VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS AND PROGRAMS
Throughout the year, Chhange offers a variety of programs - some aimed at educators and their students and others at the community at large - that have been recorded and are valued resources for the classroom and beyond. You can find all these recordings on Chhange's YouTube Channel.
One such program is the Annual Colloquium. In 2021, it was held virtually and featured author and educator Alexandra Zapruder. Zapruder spoke about the significance of diaries written by Jewish teens during the Holocaust, along with the importance of literary and artistic expression created by teens throughout the recent Covid pandemic.
Over this time, Zaptruder has collected writings, art, photography, and music of teens living through the Covid pandemic. She spoke about what is especially meaningful about the contributions today’s youth are making toward the historical and literary record of our times.
The plenary session and breakout workshops are available for viewing on Chhange's YouTube Channel.
VIRTUAL LUNCH & LEARN SERIES
In 1977, the founders of Chhange offered a Lunch & Learn series that eventually led to the creation of the Center. When Chhange transitioned to virtual platforms in March 2020, we went back to our roots and created a series of well-received lunch & learns focused on the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights.
All recorded Lunch & Learns are available on Chhange's YouTube Channel.
