Dear Educators,
Every four years, before the start of spring, athletes from around the globe gather in a celebration of athleticism, sportsmanship and national pride for the Winter Olympics. While people around the world will be rooting for different countries, teams and athletes, the Games are also a celebration of the global community, of athleticism, of competition, of unity.
As educators, you are constantly finding new ways to make classroom learning engaging and relevant for your students, and the Milano Cortina Games offer an opportunity to do just that.

new resource to provide suggestions for incorporating the Olympics into the classroom by examining the Games through the lens of identity, international conflict and the Holocaust.
The Olympics allow us to delve into stories of perseverance, triumph and joy, along with moments of profound hatred, including antisemitism, and violence. By including Jewish voices and stories when engaging in these conversations with students, we can work to ensure that all students feel seen and represented in the Milano Cortina Games and conversations about them.
In Partnership,
Shayna Meisel
Director of Education Content & Advocacy

ADL Education's Impact
‌
‌
What are our No Place for Hate schools working on this year? No Place for Hate is off to a great start at Coretta Scott King Women’s Leadership Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. Students participated in an activity called Kindness is the New Trend. At Independence Middle School in Palm Beach, Florida, Holocaust elective students led a full-school activity to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. They created white paper candles with information about different concentration camps. A video was shared on the school’s news channel to educate the full-school community about this day of remembrance.
