Idea 1: Our Centre have produced 7 case studies with 'Be the light in the darkness' discussion prompts suitable for 'live' online T&L, during tutor time or lessons, or to enable family #homelearning. https://www.holocausteducation.org.uk/teacher-resources/supporting-schools-mark-holocaust-memorial-day-2021/

Idea 2: Schools could create a #HMD2021 candle artwork (produced by the key-worker & vulnerable students currently in school?) to be prominently externally displayed in a school window evening on 27 Jan? This would be a safe/visible #Lightthedarkness community gesture. RT 3/9
Idea 3: Use the school website, newsletters to parents/carers, social media to raise awareness of #HMD2021. Such messaging could share the national theme ( https://www.hmd.org.uk/what-is-holocaust-memorial-day/this-years-theme/), flag up commitment to Holocaust T&L, inc. survivor personal stories etc. RT 4/9 @HMD_UK
Idea 4: Support our friends @HMD_UK by sharing with school community news that UK's #HMD2021 Ceremony will be streamed 7pm, 27 Jan. Afterwards they ask households (if able to do so safely) to light a Candle& place in window at 8pm https://hmd.org.uk/uk-holocaust-memorial-day-2021-ceremony/ RT 5/9
Idea 5: Encourage staff, families & students to check out @HMD_UK #HMDTogether ideas: https://www.hmd.org.uk/take-part-in-holocaust-memorial-day/hmd-together/
These may inform, engage & inspire through film, reading, cooking & help educate & commemorate about the Holocaust & other genocides. #homelearning #togetheronline RT 6/9
