Holocaust Education Digital Platform

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting one organisation via a closed non-competitive process to apply to deliver services under the Students Support Package – Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) Holocaust Education Digital Platform grant program, over 4 years from 2020–21 to 2023–24.  The program objectives are to create a Holocaust Education digital platform, using the ADC’s newly-designed Holocaust-related curriculum and education resources, that builds on the ADC’s Click Against Hate platform, providing unique interactive experiences for students and create a digital national network of certified Holocaust educators, leveraging Australian teachers to roll out the program in classrooms and connect into other schools involved across the nation. The program’s intended outcomes are to shape the minds of tomorrow’s adults by building an Australia that is tolerant, inclusive and respectful of difference, and one which promotes the values of democracy and enables students to learn about the Holocaust and its relevance to modern day issues, including moral decision making, civic duty and responsible citizenship. The ADC will: build a platform that can be utilised by students on a range of devices, catering for a broad range of accessibility needs develop a Holocaust-related program curriculum and complete production of a new education resource; integrating it into the platform, providing unique interactive experiences for students develop a digital on-boarding and training program for teachers, so the program can be adopted with minimal manual intervention.
