Up to 2 million elementary through high school students across Florida will benefit from
the new educational programming
Entrusted by the state of Florida, the Holocaust Learning Experience (HLE), a non-profit developed by MorseLife Health System in West Palm Beach, and Million Peacemakers, a non-profit dedicated to creating a culture of peace in the world by empowering people to transform conflict into Nonflict® will educate up to 2 million students grades 5 through 12 in Florida on the Holocaust and provide training in peacemaking.
Recognizing the sensitivity of teaching about the Holocaust, the state of Florida has entrusted the HLE to facilitate lessons from the Holocaust across all 67 school districts through the development, deployment, and delivery of lessons from the Holocaust.
“The Holocaust Learning Experience transforms painful lessons of history into hope for future generations,” said Dr. Jenni Frumer, VP of Strategic Initiatives. “Thanks to Million Peacemakers, we have added an action-oriented peacemaking methodology to our programming. Together, we can build a future where young people in Florida and across the United States are equipped with concrete conflict resolution skills.”
Million Peacemakers will provide training in its Nonflict® conflict resolution and peacemaking method through HLE. Nonflict® is a conflict resolution methodology outlined in “Nonflict: The Art of Everyday Peacemaking,” written by Million Peacemakers co-founders Stephen Hecht and Dr. Amir Kfir.
“We are excited to partner with MorseLife and the state of Florida to bring the art of peacemaking into schools across Florida, shaping a future where peace is a part of the curriculum,” said Stephen Hecht, Chief Executive Peacemaker and Founder, Million Peacemakers.
HLE uses an innovative Signature Educational Model designed as a turn-key operation that is scalable, equitable and uniform in both rural and urban settings. The HLE Learning Management System is a bundled, plug-and-play approach that includes original, professionally produced interviews and testimonies of Holocaust survivors and age-appropriate, multi-sensory, historically accurate documentary-style films.
About Holocaust Learning Experience
The mission of the Holocaust Learning Experience (HLE) developed by MorseLife is to educate and transform generations to end antisemitism and combat hate, bigotry and prejudice. The HLE, developed by MorseLife, has been entrusted by the State of Florida to develop, deploy and deliver lessons from the Holocaust, impacting more than two million students, grades 5 -12, in all 67 school districts. Designed as a turn-key operation through a Learning Management System, the program offers age-appropriate, grade-specific lessons from the Holocaust directly into classrooms across the curriculum. This also fills a critical gap acting as a resource for teachers who have never been trained in Holocaust studies. For more information, visit holocaustlearningexperie
