Building Our Community
Recently, the staff at Facing History had a very special opportunity to come together in-person in Boston, USA. This brought together the US, UK, and Canadian organisations to reconnect, build stronger relationships, and ground ourselves in the Facing History approach to societal transformation.
Not only was it the first time most of the UK staff met their US and Canadian colleagues, but it was also our introduction to Dr Desmond K. Blackburn, Facing History USA's new President and CEO. In addition to different learning sessions, we heard from inspirational speakers including students, teachers, and survivors.

The real impact of Facing History's work is best heard from those with first-hand experience. It was truly moving to hear from the Staff Summit speakers about their experiences. Showing why Facing History needs to continue to rise to the challenge of overcoming bigotry and hate.
On 13 July we hold our Annual Supporter Event; an immersive classroom experience. Join us and take part in a learning session with a Facing History teacher and their students to gain an in-depth understanding of our work.
The 2023 Staff Summit was made possible by a generous gift from one of Facing History USA’s most passionate supporters, Maja Kristin. Maja is a donor who recognises the importance of investing in staff and believes that face-to-face community-building is the best way to ignite a shared sense of purpose.
