For Teachers
A core aspect of the Cohen Institute’s work is its support for educators who are working to integrate Holocaust and genocide studies into a wide variety of teaching contexts. We provide free workshops and initiatives as well as tailored support to teachers. All of our teaching materials are peer-reviewed and aligned with current best practices in education.
Summer Institutes
The Cohen Institute offers two intensive summer institutes: a biannual Summer Institute for Educators (geared towards all teachers) as well as an annual Youth Leadership Institute (geared toward high school youth). Both programs are available at low or no cost due to the generosity of a donor.
NH Commission on Holocaust and Genocide Education
The Cohen Institute is a proud supporter of the New Hampshire Commission on Holocaust and Genocide Education. Part of our website is dedicated to hosting the Commission’s documents, and the statewide teaching mandate is further reinforced by the Institute’s work in Educational Outreach.
HGS at KSC
The Cohen Institute also works closely with the Keene State College Department of Holocaust and Genocide Studies (the academic program). Undergraduate students are able to complete a Bachelor of Arts (major or minor) in this area, and graduate students can earn a MA in Holocaust and Genocide Studies or a Certificate in Applied Genocide Prevention.
