Become a Speaker
The Speaker Training Program, created by 3GNY in 2010, is an educational course for you to learn how to share your family's Holocaust experiences with students and community groups. You will be provided with tools for storytelling and family research materials that include the vast USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive. Support is available throughout and after the course.
The course consists of four, 2-hour virtual sessions.
Week 1: Meet your fellow 3Gs. Discuss desired outcomes from the training and speaking engagements. Hear an example of a 3G presentation.
Week 2: Share your outline and receive peer and facilitator feedback. Discuss storytelling tools and style.
Week 3: Present a short section of your presentation and receive peer and instructor feedback.
Week 4: Present your full presentation and receive feedback. Discuss the story structure and your performance. Talk through next steps and how, when, and where you will tell your family’s story.
