Educators and NGO professionals will hear from the film makers of Padauk: Myanmar Spring as well as scholar Palita Chunsaengchan, Assistant Professor from the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Minnesota. For the second half of the event, Elana Haviv, Ph.D., founder and Executive Director of Generation Human Rights, Inc. will lead the discussion. She has designed and implemented human rights-based curriculum projects for middle and high schools across the United States and Europe, as well as in refugee camps and humanitarian emergencies worldwide. In her independent consulting work, she has written for UNESCO, providing practical advice for teachers on how to manage constructive classroom discussions about violent extremism and antisemitism. Elana is also an Oral History Fellow at Columbia University and holds a Ph.D. from Antioch University. Participants will receive a resource list and viewing guide on the film, and will discuss how to use this film in their classrooms. Participants should view the film before the workshop. All registrants will receive a free screening link to view the film prior to the talk as well as a detailed resource list and viewing guide.
