Project Witness Educators Series 2026

January – April 2026 | Virtual Webinar Series

Project Witness Educators Series 2026

Project Witness proudly presents the annual Educators Series, a flagship professional development program tailored specifically for teachers, scholars, and educational leaders. Originally launched as an in-person conference, this initiative has evolved into a fully virtual webinar series, extending its reach to classrooms, institutions, and educators around the globe. Over the course of four months, from January through April 2026, participants will engage with internationally renowned scholars, historians, and practitioners who bring cutting-edge research and pedagogy into focus. Each session is designed not merely as a lecture, but as a stand-alone educational experience—providing actionable insights, fresh historical perspectives, and tools for teaching the Holocaust and Jewish history in today's complex educational landscape.
