Facing History and Ourselves is pleased to announce a new partnership with WorldStrides [5], the nation's largest educational travel organization. The Choosing to Participate exhibition will be a stop on WorldStrides' "Discover D.C. Program [6]," in which students gain a deeper understanding of American history, the consequences of choices, and of their role in our continuing American story. Facing History has always believed that no classroom or school exisits in isolation. Developing programs with WorldStrides allows us to offer new interactive experiences that support our goal of going beyond classroom walls to engage students in the study of history and democracy.
