À partir de l’année scolaire 2025-2026, l'ACSW proposera quatre nouveaux ateliers éducatifs sur la Shoah, spécialement conçus pour les élèves et les enseignants des écoles francophones et d'immersion française partout au Canada. Ces programmes interactifs, offerts en ligne ou en personne, explorent l'identité juive, l'antisémitisme et la Shoah, afin de renforcer les connaissances, la compréhension et les outils nécessaires pour affronter la haine aujourd'hui.
Beginning the 2025/26 academic year, FSWC will offer four new Holocaust education workshops tailored for students and teachers at French language and French immersion schools across Canada. These interactive programmes, offered online or in person, explore Jewish identity, antisemitism and the Holocaust, helping build knowledge, understanding, and the tools to confront hatred today.
descriptions des ateliers
Être juif : Identité, Histoire et la Shoah (7e à 12e année) présentera aux participants l'identité juive et l'histoire de la Shoah. Nous explorerons des questions clés telles que : « Que signifie être juif ? » et « Comment la Shoah a-t-elle pu se produire ? ». Cet atelier permettra aux participants de mieux comprendre la richesse et la complexité de la culture, des traditions et de l'histoire juives, ainsi que les causes, les événements majeurs et l'impact de la Shoah. Pour les enseignants, l’atelier offrira également des outils pédagogiques pour les aider d'aborder ces sujets en classe.
Le Long Chemin vers la Justice : L’histoire de Simon Wiesenthal (4e à 8e année) utilise le témoignage illustré de Simon Wiesenthal — un survivant de la Shoah qui a consacré sa vie à la quête de justice — pour explorer des thèmes essentiels, tels que l’histoire de la Shoah, l’antisémitisme et les droits humains. L’atelier comprend une lecture dramatique de ce récit captivant, suivie d’une discussion guidée, adaptée à l'âge des élèves, qui leur permet de réfléchir, de développer leur pensée critique et d’avoir des échanges significatifs autour de l’histoire et de ses thèmes. Dans notre atelier destiné aux enseignants, nous fournirons aux participants des outils concrets pour enseigner ce texte en classe, ainsi que des ressources clés pour favoriser la réflexion et le dialogue.
Program Options
Being Jewish: Identity, History and the Shoah (Grades 7–12) will introduce participants to Jewish identity and the history of the Holocaust. We'll explore key questions like "What does it mean to be Jewish?" and "How did the Holocaust happen?". This workshop will equip participants with understanding of the richness and complexity of Jewish culture, tradition and history, along with knowledge of the causes, major events and impact of the Holocaust. For teachers, this workshop will also offer pedagogical tools to help them address these topics in their classrooms.
The Long Road to Justice: The Story of Simon Wiesenthal (Grades 4–8) uses the illustrated testimony of Simon Wiesenthal- a Holocaust survivor who devoted his life to the pursuit of justice- to explore essential themes including the history of the Holocaust, antisemitism and human rights. The workshop includes a dramatic reading of this engaging text, followed by a guided age-appropriate follow-up discussion offering students opportunities for reflection, critical thinking, and meaningful conversation about the story and its themes. In our workshop for teachers, we'll equip participants with the tools to teach this text to their own students, offering key resources to encourage reflection and dialogue in class.
Simon’s Story: Unboxing Prejudice
Suitable for Grades 4-6
What does it mean to be a hero? What kind of actions are considered heroic? Characteristics such as integrity, courage and responsibility are investigated through real people who rose to the occasion and refused to look away. This workshop encourages an introspective look at defining the attributes of a hero and how each of us has the power to initiate positive change in our lives.
Equity and Diversity Student Workshops
Designed for elementary and high school students and supporting lessons their teachers deliver every day in their own classrooms, FSWC’s education programs provide engaging learning opportunities that confront hatred and intolerance. Based on the Equity and Inclusivity Strategy our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion workshops address Ontario Ministry of Education expectations while generating lively discussions that challenge perspectives and offer greater understanding of often difficult subjects.
In Canada’s increasingly diverse society, it’s imperative that people understand and appreciate the intersectionality of identity and recognize the importance of acceptance, respect and inclusion. FSWC education and diversity workshops provide the relevant knowledge and resources to help students of all backgrounds feel comfortable to exhibit their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, family status and any other part of their identity without judgment or harassment from others.
FSWC’s experienced and specially trained education team conducts a range of workshops in person and online for student groups across Canada. While each workshop has a specific focus, they all strive to foster a more positive and open-minded attitude in schools and everyday life by helping young people to better understand and respect the diversity of others. The goal of the programming is to teach about historical events while making real-world, contemporary connections and empowering youth to create positive change in their homes, schools and communities.
