Facing History and Ourselves is a community of educators, students, parents and community leaders committed to standing up to bias, bigotry, and hate. We support teachers to enable their students to make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives.
Our Approach
● Professional Development: we provide ongoing training and support for teachers
● Inspiring Upstanders: we create opportunities for young people to choose to participate in and make a difference to issues they care about
● Community Engagement: we raise awareness of how our collective history can inform and support the choices we make for our futures
Facing History classrooms are transformative settings, where young people strengthen their analytical skills and examine their and others’ lived experiences. We know that when they study choices of the past, students are inspired to make informed and compassionate decisions today.
At this time the United Kingdom is dealing with a political and social climate that many would describe as being in crisis. This demonstrates the growing need to empower young people with the skills and tools to critically engage with the information, opinions and rhetoric that they encounter on a daily basis.
Our success as an organisation is directly linked to the diversity of our staff, leadership, educators, students, scholars, and volunteers. We are committed to building and maintaining a community that emphasises full participation and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. This commitment includes the belief that complex, often difficult conversations are at the heart of a thriving democracy. We share a vision of a society guided by knowledge and compassion, not bigotry and hate.
People make choices. Choices make history.
