The Mobile Museum of Tolerance is rolling into Rochester. What does it have to offer?

How can we help students learn empathy?

The new Mobile Museum of Tolerance is a traveling classroom that uses immersive technology to help students confront hate. It will make its debut during an event next week, where organizers of a “state of hate” survey will share what they learned.

We discuss how people in the region are experiencing hate, bias, and antisemitism, and what we can do to counter it.
