Mission:
Reflecting on the courage, ingenuity, resourcefulness and values of Michigan’s residents as they came together to meet the challenges of World War II, we strive to form students and adults alike to see challenges as opportunities to collaboratively problem solve through use of critical thinking skills, compassion and empathy, affecting positive change in today’s world.
Purpose:
To write and produce educational experiences highlighting the ingenuity, sacrifice and commitment of the Greatest Generation in a war that changed the world. These opportunities will challenge and inspire people of all ages to use individual and collective resources to make their communities and the world a better place.
The Education Coalition is made up of teachers from across the state, who are working to create engaging lessons focusing on memorila elements to bring Michigan's WWII legacy into the classroom.
