District-wide Symposia
Half-day district-wide symposia are held October through May every year in various school districts throughout the Lower Mainland.
Each symposium consists of a historical overview of the Holocaust, a documentary film excerpt, a Holocaust Survivor Speaker presentation and a student Q&A period.
Dates and locations for 2022–23 will be posted on an ongoing basis.
To attend a district-wide symposium, follow these simple steps:
- Contact us with the subject line: School District Symposium
- Indicate which symposium you would like to attend, the name of your school, and how many students would like to attend the symposium
A staff member will then follow up with you.
If you would like to host a district-wide symposium in your school, please contact programs@vhec.org.
