Join host Danni Walley as we host a crucial conversation about Holocaust education and the rise of conspiracy theories in schools. This show features two incredible guests: Mark Rusling, National Director of Learning at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum, and Pete Whitehead, member of the Commission into Countering Online Conspiracy Theories in Schools.
Explore the "what," "why," and "so what" of Holocaust education as Mark shares how the museum brings history to life for students. Learn from Pete about the challenges and strategies for addressing misinformation and fostering critical thinking among young people in the classroom. Together, they uncover how conspiracy theories take root, how they impact education, and the proactive steps schools can take to counteract their influence.
