Exploring the concept, forms, and examples of resistance can be an engaging and empowering window through which students can learn about genocide. The RESISTANCE, AGENCY, AND EMPOWERMENT teaching unit does this through an examination of individual and collective actions in response to the Armenian Genocide and its denial, as it was being carried out and over the course of more than a century thereafter. The unit highlights for students the long, continuing legacy of genocide and the value of individual choice and cooperation in affecting positive change.
