TOLI in US and Europe

United States

As a result of the coronavirus crisis, TOLI has shifted to virtual programming for much of its activities in the US and Europe. There is still the possibility of in-person programs in Europe later this year. However, in the interests of safety, TOLI has shifted most of its summer programs – 16 seminars were scheduled across the US – to online platforms.

In the US, TOLI will offer new online programs for its large network of alumni which will include lectures on antisemitism, film screenings, and conversations with Holocaust survivors. There will also be a study group for all of TOLI’s satellite leaders on the topic of systemic racism and how Holocaust education can address institutional, cultural, and personal change. Continue to US Programs in 2020.

Europe

In Europe, where seminars were planned for nine countries, programs have shifted over extended period of time online. (Programs scheduled for the fall in Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Ukraine are still to be decided) Much of the emphasis will be devoted to the hundreds of TOLI alumni,

providing support for teachers.
