Essay Writing Webinar for the Karen Becher Essay Award 25th Feb
We invite anyone interested in participating in the Karen Becher Essay Award to join us for a webinar on Tuesday 25th February at 17:00 - 18:00.
In this online session, we will introduce the new award, discuss the question 'does free speech build or break a community?', offer our tips and tricks for writing a great essay, and explore different approaches to the essay question. There will be a Q&A session at the end for any queries you have.
You will not be expected to have your camera or microphone on for this event (don't worry!)
About the award:
In January this year, we lost our dear colleague and friend, Karen Becher, a passionate educator who touched the lives of so many through her warmth, kindness, and dedication to combatting hatred. Karen worked for the Museum for close to a decade and established our successful ‘Breaking the Cycle’ intervention tool for fighting prejudice. Her legacy continues to inspire us every day.
To honour Karen's memory and the incredible work she did for the Museum, we are now introducing The Karen Becher Essay Award. This competition is aimed at 16-18 year olds, and we ask them to write their own response to a proposed essay question. The best essayists will have the chance to have their work celebrated with an event held at the centre.
The winner will receive a £500.00 cash prize, alongside their work being published on The Holocaust Listening Project.
The title this year is:
