Yerablur, loss and the continuing cycle of genocide
Special Issue: Genocide Education for the 21st Century
The Armenian Weekly, April 2023
As my last major endeavor as education director with The Genocide Education Project (GenEd), I had the honor of working with fifteen US educators from Alaska to Massachusetts in Yerevan in July 2022. They comprised the first group of international secondary level educators to attend seminars at the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Institute (AGMI). All expenses for the inaugural group of GenEd Teacher Fellows were graciously funded through individual and organizational donations. The teachers were chosen based on a competitive application process in which they proved an understanding of the history of the Armenian Genocide, had taught the subject for at least three years and demonstrated their leadership in education at the local, state and national levels. As an educator of twenty-six years myself, and involved in teaching about the Armenian Genocide for almost as long, working with this masterful group with GenEd in Yerevan was a dream come true.
