Holocaust Learning Experience will teach kids in Florida about conflict resolution and the Holocuast

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.
