The Take a Stand Center is a unique exhibition that combines human and civil rights issues with civic engagement lessons and practice. The exhibition is designed to support students’ intellectual growth and to position them to: understand lessons of the past; identify societal issues today; develop robust investigations into pressing social issues; consider possible solutions and consequences using new knowledge and tools; communicate and act upon what they learn; and empower them to put their passions and skills to work throughout their lives.
This guide converts the lessons from the Take a Stand Center into an online tool kit to teach the aftermath of the Holocaust, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the actions of historic and contemporary Upstanders, as well as how students can turn knowledge into action.
