Friday 9th December 2022 was Genocide Prevention Day, a day recognised internationally to raise awareness in genocide prevention through education of both past and present genocides. As a UCL Beacon School for Holocaust Education, Highfields has used the Holocaust as the basis of a short video and pledges for the future.
Genocide can, and has impacted on many communities beyond the Jewish community and remains a threat in our present world in places like Dafur and Tigray. As a multicultural and multifaith school, Highfields recognise that excellent Holocaust and Genocide Education encourages a culture of mutual respect, compassion and understanding.
Please take a moment to watch the short video below to see how Highfields are using their status as a Beacon School to broaden student knowledge of the Holocaust and genocide, and the pledges that they are making as a school over the next 12 months on Genocide Prevention Day.
