The Last Survivor- A workshop for Educators and Activists

August 22, 2012 at 7pm@ The OHRC, 1953 NW Kearney Street

Join us for a screening of The Last Survivor, a documentary that follows the survivors of four different genocides and mass atrocities–the Holocaust, Rwanda, Darfur, and Congo–as they work to make sense of their experiences, rebuild their lives, and get involved as activists in the issues the film addresses. A Q&A and panel discussion will follow. AN RSVP is required as space is limited. The film is free for workshop participants and a suggested $5-$10 donation for community members.

August 23, 2012- Workshop at 9am-3pm@ Portland State University- Vanguard Room

Join us for a workshop geared towards educators and those engaged in advocacy to strengthen the anti-Genocide movement in Oregon. As part of the workshop, we will discuss The Last Survivor, a documentary that follows the survivors of four different genocides and mass atrocities–the Holocaust, Rwanda, Darfur, and Congo–as they work to make sense of their experiences, rebuild their lives, and get involved as activists in the issues the film addresses. We will give participants the tools to teach about Genocide, including a teacher resource guide about the film, as well as take concrete actions towards changing the way our community sees Genocide.

This workshop is available free of charge with registration.
