Facing History Pedagogy

“Facing History and Ourselves made me realize that my choices matter. When I am indifferent, the world loses and I lose. The world needs me to act. And if my choices matter, then I matter. That’s a very important lesson to learn as a child and to own as an adult.” Facing History Alumnus.

  10. Facing History student Life used to be so easy. There always seemed to be an answer to everything.
