Remembering Srebrenica guidance and lesson plans
This resource for year 9-11 pupils, including 6 lesson plans, explores issues of prejudice, intolerance and community cohesion in the context of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide.
The resource has been developed by the PSHE Association in collaboration with the charity Remembering Srebrenica, which raises awareness of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It explores issues such as prejudice, discrimination, exclusion and cohesion and intolerance and helps pupils to understand the behaviours and influences that can either build or damage a cohesive community, and equips them with the language, strategies, skills and confidence they require to challenge intolerance.
The resource contains guidance for teachers on the background to the Srebrenica genocide, explains key themes and concepts, and outlines how this learning fits into the school climate and wider curriculum. It also includes 6 lesson plans on:
-
understanding genocide
-
the differences and similarities between people
-
‘us and them’ mentality
-
how to be a critical consumer of information
-
being independent and going against the crowd
-
how to build a cohesive community.
The lessons are designed to be used independently or in conjunction with a forthcoming series of history lessons produced by Remembering Srebrenica on the Srebrenica genocide.
