SAHA has been running workshops for history educators since 2008 as part of SAHA's ongoing efforts to use history as a lens for exploring issues of justice, human rights and responsibilities. These workshops are intended to support educators in helping young people to become active, tolerant and responsible democratic citizens who value diversity, human rights and peace.
Drawing on existing SAHA archival and education materials for history educators, these workshops aim to support quality education, in line with curriculum requirements, enabling educators to work with learners to:
develop oral history and heritage projects around often previously marginalised community histories;
use primary sources to explore and discuss recent South African history;
draw on the archive of the TRC to discuss issues of reconciliation in the South African context.
SAHA products and publication used in the course of these workshops include:
